Iran Press/ Iran news: Germany's deputy ambassador to Tehran, Oliver Schnackenberg, has said INSTEX is just a part of the country's efforts to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
"We disagree with Iran on some issues and have criticism on some policies, but we agree on preserving the JCPOA and we have a common concern to uphold it," Oliver Schnackenberg pointed out.
Speaking on Tuesday at a meeting of Iran-Germany business relations -held at the Azadi Parsian Hotel- Oliver Schnackenberg noted that the JCPOA is more than just an economic treaty that seeks to lift sanctions only.
"This agreement is a document that regulates security and helps us achieve peace and security," he said.
The German deputy ambassador to Tehran went on to say that the country is critical of the United States' withdrawal from the JCPOA, adding: "Certainly the US policy vis-à-vis Iran has not been right, and we have said this to the US. Together with our European partners, we work to reduce the impact of sanctions and minimise the challenges of Iran and the United States."

According to the official, Germany supports the French President Emmanuel Macron's efforts to start negotiations, and it is important that these issues yield results.
"The economic relations between Iran and Germany have been close for a long time, and via the centuries-long common economic history, there has been constructive cooperation between businessmen and engineers in both countries," he said.
