Malaysia welcomes PoA with Iran concerning nuclear programme

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia welcomed the agreement reached between the P5+1 and Iran on a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) concerning Iran's nuclear programme, on July 14, 2015 in Vienna, Austria.
The historic nuclear deal was reached following lengthy negotiations which began on June 27, 2015 and went through three extensions after missing the initial deadline of June 30, 2015.
The just concluded talks were based on key parameters agreed on April 2, 2015 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry said the comprehensive agreement as contained in the JCPoA is a positive step and augurs well for international efforts aimed at enhancing nuclear security.
Malaysia believes that the agreement reached will contribute to efforts to eliminate the threat of weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons, and hopes that the parties concerned will focus on the immediate and constructive implementation of the JCPoA. – Bernama
