Araqchi told reporters that the Commission is an appropriate opportunity to discuss and consider bilateral and multilateral obstacles on the way of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

He said there were two joint commission meetings before implementation of JCPOA and this is the second meeting after implementation.

Araqchi said that Iran would raise the concern about banking re-connection.

Some technical issues and problems may emerge concerning our commitment or misunderstanding and misinterpretation on implementation of technical dimension of JCPOA may emerge between us and the agency or IAEA and G 5+1, so they will be discussed here.

Araqchi added that bilateral meetings will be held after joint commission meeting with French, American and German delegations, although the German side is departing for Tehran on Wednesday.

According to the agreement on the first joint commission meeting between Iran and Group 5+1 on October 16, 2015, the commission meeting is due be held every three-month in Vienna.
