TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Tokyo on Monday as the second leg of his trip to East Asia.
Abbas Araghchi will meet and hold talks with his Japanese counterpart in Tokyo.
Araghchi was in Beijing upon the invitation of his Chinese counterpart to have political consultation on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and also discuss bilateral ties. Iranian and Chinese diplomats held a political meeting on Sunday to further confer on the status of the nuclear deal.
In a press conference after the meeting, both Araghchi and his Chinese counterpart Ma Zhaoxu stressed that other parties to the deal should honor their obligations.
Zhaoxu has called on European countries to speed up the implementation of INSTEX trade mechanism for Iran while urging the US to return to the nuclear deal and lift sanctions against Iran.
“The JCPOA is an international diplomatic achievement, and all the countries of the world are responsible for respecting, implementing and preserving it,” said Araghchi in the presser.
In a joint press conference with Araghchi the day before, Zhaoxu has called on European countries to speed up the implementation of INSTEX trade mechanism for Iran, while urging the US to return to the nuclear deal and lift sanctions against Iran.
Iran and China will make every effort to preserve the nuclear deal (JCPOA), the Chinese diplomat said while attributing the current unfavorable situation around the JCPOA to the US’ withdrawal from the agreement and its ‘maximum pressure’ policy on Tehran.
