BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 15. Canadian Prime
Minister Mark Carney has welcomed the newly announced agreement
between the United States and Iran, expressing gratitude to
international intermediaries for facilitating the critical
diplomatic negotiations.
This is reflected in an official statement published by the
Canadian Prime Minister on his X social media account.
"Canada welcomes the new agreement between the United States and
Iran. We extend our gratitude to Pakistan, Qatar and regional
partners for their indispensable roles in facilitating
negotiations," the statement says.
According to Carney, Ottawa maintains a firm stance that any
sustainable ceasefire in the region must fulfill two key
parameters.
"Canada has been clear that a durable ceasefire must both ensure
safe and unimpeded transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and
address the pervasive threat of Iran’s nuclear program," the PM
wrote.
Furthermore, the head of the Canadian government pointed out
that as the broader diplomatic process unfolds, all participating
parties are urged to maintain constructive dialogue in good faith
and completely avoid any destabilizing actions or further
escalation.
The Canadian leadership emphasizes its readiness to actively
participate in the subsequent phases of the stabilization process.
Carney stressed that Canada remains in close communication with its
global allies and stands prepared to provide practical support for
international initiatives aimed at restoring long-term peace and
security to the Middle East, explicitly highlighting the situation
in Lebanon.
A ceasefire agreement has been reached between the U.S and Iran,
calling for an immediate and permanent cessation of military
hostilities on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The potential agreement between Iran and the U.S. covers issues
related to sanctions, nuclear weapons, and the reopening of the
Strait of Hormuz. Specifically, Tehran has agreed to refrain from
developing and acquiring nuclear weapons.
