Tehran (ISNA) - Chairman of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Dr. Kamal Kharrazi who is in Paris to attend Leaders for Peace conference, met with the French Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman, Marielle de Sarnez.
Emphasizing on Iran's importance, the French legislator asked Tehran's detailed view on its recent decision to suspend implementation of some commitments based on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
"The decision and Iran's withdrawal from JCPOA can put the positive results and the stability reached after the nuclear deal at risk and raise concerns," she said.
Explaining Iran's stance, the Iranian chairman of the strategic council on foreign relations said, "Iranian people have become strongly pessimistic towards Europe because of its failure in meeting its JCPOA commitments, complying with Trump's sanction policies and giving in to US' transnational decisions".
Citing Iran's decision for phasic suspension of its commitments and determining a 60-day deadline for remaining members of Iran's nuclear deal, Kharrazi added, "It's a good opportunity for Europe to compensate its slow actions by accelerating the process of implementation of Instrument for Supporting Trade Exchanges (INSTEX)".
The French parliament foreign affairs committee chairwoman, for his part expressed discontent over US' transnational decisions and its pressures on Europe, criticizing Washington's withdrawal from JCPOA, saying that the nuclear deal couldn't proceed well in practice.
"Europe and France are determined and have goodwill to advance and preserve JCPOA and we hope to reach a suitable solution," she added.
De Sarnez also insisted on the importance of exchanging parliamentary delegations between the two countries to obtain better understandings about realities and viewpoints of the sides.
