Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao is answering questions at
a regular news conference in Beijing Tuesday.
BEIJING, Feb. 15 - China has called for the international community to
remain sober-minded, patient and flexible when trying to resolve the Iran
nuclear issue, said the Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao at a
regular news conference here Tuesday.
China encourages all parties to do more to increase trust and avoid any
actions that may worsen the issue, Liu said.
He told reporters that China is concerned with the latest development of
the Iran nuclear issue. There are still enough room to resolve the issue
under the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and
the international community should not abandon diplomatic efforts, he
said.
Regarding the scheduled nuclear talks between Russia and Iran on Feb. 16,
Liu said China hopes the talks will be held on time and achieve positive
outcome.
Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham told reporters on
Monday that a new round of talks between Iran and Russia, previously
scheduled on Thursday in Moscow, has been delayed and that Iran would
resume industrial enrichment ahead of the IAEA's meeting on March 6.
China is playing its own role in the resolution of the nuclear issue and
will work with all relevant parties, including the United States, the
European Union and other developing countries to properly resolve the
issue, Liu said.
Liu also underscored that a solution through dialogue serves the
interests of Iran and all parties concerned, and said China's efforts on
this issue constitute part of its commitment to establishing world peace.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Iranian National Security and Foreign
Relations Committee, told state television Tuesday that Iran had resumed
"peaceful" uranium enrichment at the Natanz plant in the presence of
inspectors from the IAEA.
The resumption was the final step of Iran's reaction to a recent decision
by the IAEA to report their nuclear activities to the UN Security
Council. (Special report: Iran Nuclear Crisis)
President Hu's visit to US
When answering a journalist's question about Chinese President Hu's visit
to the United States, Liu said that both China and the United States are
actively preparing for the planned visit in the first half of 2006.
Liu said that the two sides would decide the specific date of the visit
through diplomatic channels.
"China will continue its efforts to ensure the success of the visit and
accomplishment of expected goals." Liu said.
