Iran Press/Europe: During the meeting in Vienna on Monday, the two sides conferred on topics of mutual interest, as well as the latest developments concerning the EU’s promised trade mechanism with Iran, and the efforts of the European countries to save the Iran nuclear deal in the wake of the US’ unilateral withdrawal from the agreement and the re-imposition of sanctions against Tehran.
The two diplomats also discussed the latest developments in the Middle East region, including the situation in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen, during which Araghchi stressed that the destructive policies of the Israeli regime were the main cause of instability in the region, Mehr News Agency reported.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi then thanked Austria for its supportive positions regarding the nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA), and called for the immediate implementation of the EU’s trade mechanism with Iran, which was promised to facilitate economic cooperation with the Islamic Republic in the face of US sanctions.
The Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl, for her part, highlighted the significance of Tehran-Vienna ties, and stressed the need for the continuation of political consultations between the two sides aimed at advancing peace and stability in the Middle East.
