Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos made the following statement regarding the initiation of the implementation of the Joint Action Plan on Iran’s nuclear programme:
“The initiation of the Joint Action Plan on Iran’s nuclear programme is the first tangible result of the Geneva Agreement of this past November between the EU 3+3 and Tehran, and constitutes a positive and hopeful development, which we welcome.
The sincere and substantial dialogue between the two sides has proven a necessary prerequisite for the settlement of this critical international security issue.
We are convinced that the constructive spirit and pragmatism Iran is showing will continue and that the whole endeavor will be handled with diligence, consistency and good faith, so that we can reach a mutually acceptable, comprehensive and definitive solution.”
