The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) welcomed the implementation of Iran nuclear deal following which economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic of Iran have been lifted. The OIC expressed the hope that all stakeholders would respect their commitments and obligations under international law, and the stipulations of international agreements and conventions. It also hoped that this development would contribute to regional peace and stability and would augur a better future for the people in the region. Consistent with its Charter, the OIC reiterated its call for international peace and security, emphasizing the importance of building stronger relations among its Member States and with other countries based on mutual respect, cooperation, and non-interference in internal affairs for the best interest of their peoples. The OIC reaffirmed its call on the international community to pursue with a similar sense of commitment the establishment of a nuclear weapon-free zone in the Middle East.
