China said on Thursday it welcomes nuclear talks between Iran and Russia
planned for next week to defuse a crisis over Tehran's atomic programme.
"We hope that this Russian invitation to Iran to hold talks on the 16th about
participating in an international uranium enrichment centre will help break, or
encourage a break, in the current stalemate over the Iranian nuclear issue,"
Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan told a regular news conference.
The deputy head of Iran's National Security Council would lead Tehran's
delegation to the talks in Moscow next week, Russia's Itar-Tass news agency
reported earlier.
