UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese diplomat said here Thursday that China has been playing a constructive role in promoting the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, which was reached in July 2015 between Iran and six major powers, known as the P5+1.

Li Baodong, China's vice foreign minister, spoke at a meeting of foreign ministers of Iran and the P5+1, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Germany. The meeting was held at UN headquarters in New York on the sidelines of the ongoing annual high-level debate of the UN General Assembly.

Li said the smooth implementation of the Iran nuclear deal -- the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) -- since its adoption more than one year ago, makes all the relevant parties more confident in its future implementation.

The six major countries and Iran should be firm in their political will, keep away outside interference, strengthen dialogue and consultation and properly solve any possible problems in the implementation process, he said.

China will maintain close contact with all parties concerned and continue to actively participate in the implementation of the nuclear deal, he said.

On July 14, 2015, the P5+1 and Iran reached the JCPOA to ensure Iran's nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful and to put Iran on the path of sanctions relief.

Endorsed by the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 on July 20, 2015,the deal has been formally implemented since Jan.16, 2016.
