Iran Press/Europe: "We warmly welcome the decision taken by the governments of Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden, to join INSTEX as shareholders," a statement released by France, Germany, and Britain said.
Three founding shareholders of the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) reiterated in their statement: "This step further strengthens INSTEX and demonstrates European efforts to facilitate legitimate trade between Europe and Iran, and is a clear expression of our continuing commitment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA)."
The statement at the same time called on Iran to return to full compliance with its commitments under the JCPoA without delay, Iran Press reported citing UK Government website GOV.UK.
