BEIJING: China on Tuesday called for increased diplomatic efforts and an early agreement for an internationally-backed nuclear fuel proposal for Tehran after Iran started its higher-grade uranium enrichment program.
"We note the related reports. We expect and back all sides to reach an early agreement on the IAEA-raised draft proposal regarding the Tehran research reactor, which will help solve the issue," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu told a regular briefing on Tuesday.
Reviewing the recent consultations of the six countries, including the United States, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, on Iran nuclear issue, Ma said, "China hopes all relevant parties will step up diplomatic efforts and make progress in dialogue and negotiations."
