Q: The US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said that the US is discussing new sanctions against Iran with other parties. Can you brief us on the discussion with China?

A: We have taken note of the situation you mentioned. China believes that dialogue and negotiation is the correct way out for the Iranian nuclear issue and there is still room for diplomatic efforts. China hopes that all parties concerned will adopt more flexible and pragmatic policies and intensify diplomatic efforts for the early resumption of talks.
