Statement by Minister Counsellor Dai Huaicheng at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting under agenda item 4d:
NPT Safeguards Agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran
2021-11-26 22:26

Mr. Chairman,

China takes note of DG’s report on Implementation of NPT Safeguards Agreement by Iran, as contained in GOV/2021/52. We support the Agency’s continued implementation of its safeguards monitoring mandate of Iran’s nuclear program in an objective, impartial and fair manner.

As for the outstanding issues related to safeguards implementation as mentioned in the report, China supports strengthened dialogue and cooperation between Iran and the Agency to seek pragmatic and reasonable solutions while at the same time avoid reopening discussions on possible military dimension (PMD) of Iran’s nuclear program. China notes that the Agency maintains communication with Iran on the issue of physical searches of inspectors and we’re confident that solutions could be found to optimize security check arrangements.

China hopes that all relevant parties adopt a forward-looking approach, do more to help ease the tension and avoid any step that may aggravate the situation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
