China calls on world powers to adopt flexible approach toward Iran

From the Tehran Times (link): “A Chinese envoy has called on world powers engaged in nuclear talks with Iran to adopt a flexible and pragmatic approach so that a comprehensive settlement would be reached in the next phase of negotiations.

Wang Min, China’s deputy representative to the United Nations, made the remarks at a Security Council meeting on Monday, Xinhua reported.

“We hope that all the parties adopt a flexible and practical attitude, meet each other half way, and eventually reach a fair, balanced, mutually beneficial and win-win comprehensive agreement,” Wang said.

He went on to say that the Iranian nuclear issue bears on the maintenance of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and peace and stability in the Middle East.

“In the new circumstances, China stands ready to work together with all parties and actively promote the negotiations, so as to make new contribution to a comprehensive settlement to the issue,” he noted.”
