Commitment to mutually beneficial cooperation, solid support for JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] and rejection of unilateralism. President [Hassan] Rouhani had constructive meetings with many leaders, including substantive bilaterals with [Chinese President] Xi Jinping and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.” The tweet was accompanied with pictures of Rouhani’s meetings with Putin, Xi and also Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
