China urged Iran on Tuesday to fully cooperate with the International Atomic
Energy Agency to defuse a standoff over its nuclear ambitions.
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing told a news conference in Beijing that
Iran as a Non-Proliferation Treaty signatory has the right to peaceful use of
nuclear power, but must fulfil its NPT obligations.
There was still room for a peaceful resolution of the Iran nuclear standoff,
he added.
The IAEA said on Monday a deal to defuse the standoff was still possible
after a surge of diplomacy involving Russia and the top European Union
powers.
