China believes that peaceful resolution through diplomacy is the
best way to address the Iranian nuclear issue, the Foreign Ministry
said in a statement yesterday.
Beijing is carefully studying Iran's response to the offer made
by six world powers to defuse the nuclear standoff, according to
the ministry.
The offer includes both incentives for Iran to suspend uranium
enrichment and possible sanctions if it fails to comply.
The Chinese government hopes Iran seriously considers the
concern of the international community and comes up with necessary
and constructive measures, it said.
"We also hope that other parties concerned maintain calm and
patience, show flexibility, stick to the orientation of peaceful
resolution and create favorable conditions for resuming talks as
soon as possible," it said.
