We welcome the signature of a Joint Statement on a Framework for Co-operation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. We are pleased that Iran has now agreed to co-operate with the Agency to resolve all present and past issues. It is important that Iran fully addresses the substance of the Agency's concerns over the possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear programme. This is a step in the right direction, and we hope Iran will implement and ratify modified Code 3.1 and the Additional Protocol.
