BEIJING, April 10 (Xinhua)
-- China called on all relevant
parties to create conditions for
resolving the Iran nuclear issue, a
Foreign Ministry spokesman said
Wednesday.
China hopes Iran can
continue to maintain tangible talks
with the P5+1 group (the five
permanent UN Security Council members,
plus Germany), as well as strengthen
cooperation with the International Atomic
Energy Agency, for a "comprehensive,
secular and appropriate" settlement of
its nuclear issue, spokesman Hong Lei
said during the routine press
briefing.
Hong's remarks came
after Iran inaugurated two major
projects related to its nuclear
program in the central province of
Yazd on Tuesday.
In an
inaugural ceremony held for the two
projects, which also marked Iran's
National Nuclear Technology Day, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the
country has made achievements despite
the enemies' political and sanction
pressures.
Also, Fereidoon Abbasi,
head of the Atomic Energy Organization
of Iran, said the country will
continue to refine uranium to a
fissile concentration of 20 percent, if
necessary.
"As a signatory to
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran
possesses the right to use nuclear
energy for peaceful purposes while
following relevant international obligations,"
Hong stressed.
China is ready
to work with relevant parties to
continue to play a constructive role
in settling the issue, Hong
added.
