London : British Prime Minister David Cameron said Sunday that the agreement reached on Iran's nuclear programme in Geneva was "an important first step".
"We now have an international agreement with Iran that moves it further away from getting a nuclear weapon," reported Xinhua citing Cameron. "This is an important first step, which must now be fully implemented."
After days of intensive negotiations, Iran and six world major countries, Britain, France, Russia, China, the US and Germany (P5Ư), have reached a first-step agreement on Iran's nuclear programme, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton announced Sunday morning.
"We will continue to enforce sanctions robustly in order to secure a comprehensive and final settlement that fully addresses the real and substantive concerns of the international community," Cameron said. "Today's deal with Iran demonstrates how persistent diplomacy and tough sanctions can together help us to advance our national interest," he added.
