The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) welcomes the agreement between Iran and P5+1 nations on its nuclear program after prolonged negotiations.

During this time of historic victory, the MDP further welcomes the decision to lift sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States, European Union and the United Nations, which would lead to further prosperity and progress for the Iranian people.

MDP congratulates all parties involved in the conclusion of this crucial dialogue, which will remain a meaningful success story of international diplomacy. This is a positive and important step towards bringing about a longstanding peace in the Middle East.

Noting this significant step forward, MDP recalls the message from Hon. Javad Zarif, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, “today could have been end of hope, instead we are starting new chapter of hope”
