Iran nuclear deal powers should stick to pact, China
Beijing 5 Dec (ANA) - Iran's nuclear deal with six major powers should continue regardless of changes in the internal situation of participant nations, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Iran's visiting foreign minister during a meeting in Beijing on Monday. The future of the deal to curb Iran's nuclear program has been thrown into jeopardy with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump set to take office next month. During his election campaign Trump vowed to scrap the pact, although the final details of his foreign policy strategy, including his stance on Iran, remain unclear. "Maintaining the deal's continued, comprehensive and effective implementation is the responsibility and common interest of all parties, and should not be impacted by changes in the internal situation of each country," Wang said. He did not name specific countries in his comments, carried on China's foreign ministry website. Iran shared China's position, the Middle East country's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, said.(ANA)
