China. a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. is one of the architects of the agreement.

The JCPOA ``continues to be the best way to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.

According to the agreement. Iran scaled back its nuclear activities in exchange for termination of economic and financial sanctions.

The technical cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is rooted in the past and it is going on at present too.

Abe and IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano reached the consensus during their meeting in Tokyo on Tuesday.

The intergovernmental agreement for Turkey'.s first nuclear plant was signed with Russia in 2010.
