ISLAMABAD: A Foreign Office (FO) statement issued on Wednesday said that 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.
The FO said that Pakistan had welcomed the JCPOA when it was concluded and hoped that all parties would find a way for its continuation, especially when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has repeatedly verified Iran’s compliance.
“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,” the FO added.
The FO further said that Pakistan believes that international treaties and agreements concluded through painstaking negotiations are sacrosanct and 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.
