China supports all the efforts conducive to the resolution of
the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic negotiations, said
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing in Beijing on Friday.
Li talked with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki on the
phone, and the two exchanged views on the latest development of the
nuclear issue.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday that
Washington would join the European countries in talks with Iran
over its disputed nuclear issue if Tehran suspends uranium
enrichment activities.
