Summary
China says that more dialogues, not sanctions, are needed to resolve the issue of Iran's nuclear program. Iran announced Sunday that it plans to build 10 more uranium enrichment facilities. That brought quick condemnation from officials in Europe and the US which has been pressing China to take a stronger stand on the issue. A China Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news conference that sanctions are not the goal of new UN pressure on Iran.We should properly resolve this issue through dialogue, spokesman Qin Gang said. All parties should step up diplomatic efforts.
