TEHRAN (Iran News) – Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Geng Shuang said respecting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action by the West is the only viable way to bring Tehran and the western signatories together and commit to JCPOA.

“China maintains close communication with signatory parties and commit to JCPOA, on the need to uphold and implement the deal,” Shuang said on Tuesday, addressing his regular weekly press conference.

“China believes that full and effective implementation of the JCPOA is the only viable way to ease tensions over the Iranian nuclear issue,” he added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Chinese diplomat said that the Joint Commission of JCPOA that may convene on December 6 must help regulate the international Agreement.

“We will attend the upcoming Arbitral Joint Commission of the JCPOA,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

“We hope that this arbitral meeting will help all parties reach consensus on upholding the JCPOA, work out practical issues through consultation, and explore effective means of implementation, in particular with regards to restoring the balance of rights and obligations of all parties,” Shuang added.

In relevant remarks last week, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi announced that the JCPOA’s Joint Commission may be held on December 6 at the deputy ministerial level to discuss latest developments on the international accord.

Under the JCPOA, enrichment at Fordow nuclear site was supposed to be stopped for 14 years.

“Inaction by European parties has made us move towards Fordow only after 3 years,” said Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi.

Germany, France, and the UK have not been able to take necessary actions to keep Iran satisfied after the US pulled out of the nuclear deal.
