China said on Tuesday it would continue to work with relevant parties for comprehensive and effective implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the Iran nuclear issue.
The first anniversary of JCPOA implementation fell on Monday.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said that China has made great efforts to settle the Iran nuclear issue.
The JCPOA, known commonly as the Iran deal or Iran nuclear deal, is an international agreement reached in Vienna on July 14, 2015, between Iran, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States -- plus Germany), and the European Union.
The deal is a successful example of international efforts to solve hot-spot issues through political and diplomatic means, Hua said.
