China and Iran have called for the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) for Iran’s nuclear program, according to a joint statement dedicated to the sixth meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors.
“The People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation are convinced that it is time for Western countries to demonstrate political will, stop the continued cycle of escalation that has been going on for almost two years and take the necessary steps towards the revival of the JCPOA. This can still be done,” the statement reads.
