BEIJING: China is willing to continue playing a constructive role in the political and diplomatic settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
Spokeswoman Mao Ning made the remarks at a daily press briefing in Beijing in response to a related query.
"Since the outbreak of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, China has maintained close communication with all relevant parties, including Iran, and has been making active efforts to promote ceasefire and peace. Upholding the spirit of President Xi Jinping's four propositions, we will continue playing an active role in restoring peace and stability in the Middle East and Gulf region at an early date. On the Iranian nuclear issue, China always supports a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation. We hope relevant parties will seize the opportunity and find a solution that accommodates the legitimate concerns of all sides through negotiation. China will continue playing a constructive role in the political and diplomatic settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue to safeguard the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and promote peace and stability in the Middle East and beyond," she said.
