ndonesia has welcomed the successful results of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement on the Iranian nuclear program after talks held in Vienna on July 14.
The agreement, which was discussed by Iran along with the US, the UK, France, Russia, China and Germany, allowed Iran to continue developing its nuclear program as long as it is for peaceful civilian purposes in return for a lift of economic sanctions on the country.
Indonesia's Foreign Ministry says that it hopes the agreement will create a conducive situation toward finding peaceful alternative methods to face conflict and crises in the Middle East.
It also shows the effectiveness of a diplomatic solution based on dialogue toward handling major issues such as nuclear power, a stance that Indonesia has always upheld, says the Ministry.
'Indonesia hopes that all the parties involved will continue the constructive approach toward the implementation of this agreement,' the Ministry explained in a statement obtained by The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
Talks on the Iran nuclear program had been ongoing since 2003, with frequent stalemates over the years. The agreement also affirmed the right of every country to harness nuclear power for peaceful purposes.
