The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) welcomes the framework agreement signed between The Islamic Republic of Iran and the P5 + 1 nations last week in Lausanne. The agreement, although not a conclusion on a nuclear deal is an encouraging success story for international diplomacy.

The MDP commends the parties involved for continuing to engage in dialogue. The MDP hopes this framework agreement is a foundation for greater international engagement with Iran on all global issues.
