China has played a uniquely constructive role in the historic nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

Wang believes the most important achievement of the agreement is that it protects the global non-proliferation system. While Iran made a political commitment not to develop nuclear weapons, it has been given the right to peaceful use of nuclear energy.

He said the agreement has been a useful practice for the international community to solve major disputes through dialogue, and it also set a good example for solving other global and regional hot spot issues, including the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

As a peace-loving country, China has always played a constructive role in moving forward the negotiation with a just and objective position. It opposes imposition of unilateral sanctions and use or threat of military force against Iran.

Meanwhile, China opposes Iran's attempts to develop nuclear weapons and supports the establishment of a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East.
