China on Thursday encouraged Iran to continue dialogues and cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the European Union (EU).
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao made the remarks at a regular press briefing. Iran has stated for several times that it has no intention to develop nuclear weapons, the spokesman said, adding consultation and dialogues are required in order to help the international community to believe Iran's sincerity.
China always advocates to firmly maintain the international non-proliferation system, spokesman added.
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi visited Iran on Tuesday, and met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki and Supreme National Security Council Secretary Saeed Jalili.
Ahmadinejad told Yang that Iran is making good cooperation with the IAEA and is willing to maintain active contacts with the EU.
Iran is also ready to continue its communication with China and other sides over its nuclear issue, Ahmadinejad said.
