Iran deal backed as necessary

International pact a blueprint for peace on the Korean Peninsula, Wang says

Recent tensions on the Korean Peninsula have underlined the significance of the Iran nuclear deal, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday at a meeting with foreign ministers of Iran and the six other countries that reached the deal.

In the meeting at the United Nations in New York, Wang urged all parties to stick to the pact and warned of a "severe impact" to the international nonproliferation regime and the possibility of even worse chaos in the Middle East if the pact is abandoned.
