China hoped Iran would work together with the International Atomic Energy Agency and deliver an early response to the six-nation package proposal aimed at resolving the nuclear dispute.

"We hope Iran will pay due attention to the concerns of the international community, take a positive attitude and make a formal response to the proposal soon," China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said on Thursday.

According to Jiang, to solve the Iran nuclear dispute peacefully through diplomatic means is the right way and serves the interests of all parties.

"We also hope that all the other parties show the utmost patience and restraint, continue to take a constructive attitude to create a favorable atmosphere and conditions for the resumption of negotiations," she said.
