UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy to the United Nations said Wednesday that all parties concerned should reaffirm their political will and eliminate external interferences while dealing with Iran nuclear issue.
Wu Haitao, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, gave a positive assessment of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program, noting the JCPOA "has registered good progress in the first year" and pledging China would continue to actively participate in the Joint Commission and Procurement Working Group.
Delegates from the UN Security Council on Wednesday called for continued implementation of the JCPOA, praising the historic accord as a significant diplomatic achievement that had made the world a safer place in the first year of its performance.
Briefing the security council on its resolution 2231, which endorsed the JCPOA, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman called on the international community to continue support and contribute to the implementation of the agreement.
"Since the JCPOA is not being implemented in vacuum, there will be difficulties and challenges along the way, and joint efforts are required," Wu said.
