Q: Six nations met in London yesterday for the Iranian nuclear issue. The Security Council is discussing a new resolution on sanctions against Iran. Will China support tougher measures, for instance, travel ban upon Iran? Russia recently expressed concern over possible US military strikes against Iran. How China is concerned over that?

A: Political chief in charge of the Iranian nuclear issue from six nations had a meeting in London yesterday. Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Zha Peixin attended the meeting. Discussions were focused on next step of the Security Council and on how to resume contact with Iran. Parties are all devoted to seeking for ways to address the issue properly through peaceful negotiations.

We have always endorsed a peaceful solution through diplomacy and negotiation. Sanction should not be the purpose. Any measure the Security Council is to take should be conducive to a proper solution to the issue through peaceful talks.
