BEIJING: China called on Thursday ( Mar 13 ) for a “diplomatic” resolution to the Iran nuclear issue as it prepared to host diplomats from Tehran and Moscow for talks.
The United States withdrew from a location offer, which had imposed restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in return for sanctions comfort, during President Donald Trump’s first name.
Tehran adhered to the 2015 offer for a month after Washington’s removal but then began rolling up its commitments.
Efforts to resurrect the agreement have since faltered.
Beijing is set to sponsor Russia and Iran- both important political companions- on Friday for multilateral talks on Tehran’s nuclear program.
” In the current situation, we believe that all factions should maintain calm and caution to avoid escalating the Iran nuclear position, or even walking towards fight and conflict”, foreign department spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular lecture.
The conference will be attended by China’s Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and Egyptian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, Beijing has said.
Iran’s foreign government has said the meeting would rely on “developments related to the atomic matter and the raising of punishment”.
No information about the schedule of the gathering have been shared.
However, Beijing has said the deals would target to” improve communication and coordination, to continue dialogue and negotiation at an early day”.
” China sincerely hopes that all parties can work together, continually enhance mutual trust and remove misgivings, and change the speed of restarting dialogue and negotiation into real at an early time”, Mao said.
