Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what role the Government of Russia is undertaking in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Russia is a participant of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), alongside China, the European Union, France, Germany, Iran and the United Kingdom. We have been engaged in negotiations in Vienna, with all JCPoA participants and the US, aimed at returning Iran to full compliance with its JCPoA commitments. There is now a deal on the table which would return Iran to full compliance with its JCPoA commitments and return the US to the deal. We urge all parties to focus on rapidly concluding the deal and implementing it in full.
