UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Tuesday called for the resumption of talks on the Iranian nuclear issue.
"China calls on relevant parties to strengthen their sense of urgency, demonstrate responsibility, promptly resume negotiations, and strive to achieve consensus and results," the Chinese representative said.
"Force and confrontation will not solve the problem. All parties must remain calm and exercise restraint, pursuing diplomacy and dialogue to properly resolve differences and avoid a return to the vicious cycle of sanctions, pressure, and escalation," he said.
"The United States must take its responsibilities seriously, demonstrate political sincerity, make a clear commitment not to use force against Iran, and actively resume negotiations with it. The UK, France, and Germany (the E3) must abandon their 'microphone diplomacy', play a constructive role in easing tensions and overcoming differences, and translate their stated commitment to a diplomatic solution into concrete actions," Sun Lei added.
Despite the unfair treatment, Iran has repeatedly reaffirmed the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, emphasized that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, and actively engaged with all parties to find solutions. China calls on relevant countries to attach great importance to Iran's sincerity and positive efforts, rather than resorting to unilateral pressure and destructive actions.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a signatory to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, China has always played a constructive role in resolving the Iranian nuclear issue and actively promoted peace and negotiations. China will continue to cooperate with all parties, making unremitting efforts to promote an early resumption of negotiations, advance the political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, uphold the international non-proliferation regime, and strengthen peace and stability in the Middle East, he noted.
