China supports continued diplomatic efforts to properly settle the Iran nuclear issue within the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) framework at an early date, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.

Spokesman Kong Quan said that China supports the negotiation between the European Union (EU) and Iran on reaching a long-term solution to the nuclear issue.

What has been achieved so far is the hard-won result, and China hopes the two sides will adhere to the Paris Agreement and IAEA Council resolution and remain patient to maintain the negotiation process, the spokesman said.
