Iran's nuclear deal: JCPOA represents good example of negotiated settlement of complex issues: foreign office

Foreign Office on Tuesday shared the global concern over the US withdrawal from Iran's nuclear deal, saying arbitrarily rescinding agreements will undermine confidence in the value of dialogue and diplomacy and the peaceful resolution of disputes. "Pakistan believes that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) represents a very good example of a negotiated settlement of complex issues, through dialogue and diplomacy," said Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal while presenting Pakistan's position on the nuclear deal.
"We had welcomed the JCPOA when it was concluded and hope that all parties will find a way for its continuation, especially when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly verified Iran's compliance," he said. He further stated: "We have noted the willingness of the parties to the agreement to work together on upholding their respective commitments as stipulated in the JCPOA, despite the US decision to withdraw from it."
"Pakistan believes that international treaties and agreements concluded through painstaking negotiations are sacrosanct. Arbitrarily rescinding such agreements will undermine confidence in the value of dialogue and diplomacy in the conduct of international relations and the peaceful resolution of disputes," the spokesperson added. US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that the US is withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal and will impose "the highest level" of economic sanctions on Tehran.
