Russia and India will continue their trade and economic cooperation with Iran, which they qualify as mutually beneficial and legitimate, according to a joint statement adopted Wednesday after the Russian-Indian summit.
“The sides acknowledge the importance of full and efficient implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iranian nuclear program for ensuring regional and international peace, security and stability. They confirm full commitment to Resolution 2231 of the UN Security Council”, the statement read, sputniknews.com wrote.
The JCPOA was signed in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1. The deal went into force in January 2016. However, more than two years after the implementation of the agreement began, President Donald Trump pulled the US out of the deal in May 2018 and reimposed unilateral sanctions on Iran.
Russia and India maintain that the crisis must be resolved peacefully; thus, both countries have expressed determination to continue legitimate trade and economic cooperation with Tehran.
