Tehran, the head of the Chinese delegation said after a meeting

between Iran and the West in the past month that included
confrontations at sea and Tehran's breaches of the accord.

JCPOA and to continue to implement the JCPOA in a balanced
manner," Fu Cong, director general of the Department of Arms
Control at China's Foreign Ministry told journalists after the
meeting in Vienna.
