(IRNA) - China on Thursday reiterated diplomacy as the best possible means for peaceful settlement of Iran's nuclear case.
"China is ready to continue with its constructive role in the process of peacefully resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through negotiations," said Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing in a joint press appearance with the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is in Beijing as part of an Asian tour, reports Trend.
China has long urged the resolution of the issue through negotiations and been resistant to tougher action such as sanctions.
