 Tehran, Iran, Mar. 24 – Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and his Chinese counterpart Li Zhao Xing discussed the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program during a telephone conversation on Friday, the government-run news agency Fars reported.
The pair discussed Tehran-Beijing bilateral relations and Iran’s nuclear program, the report said, adding that the conversation was held at the request of the Iranian side.
China and Russia have so far refused to sign up to a statement at the United Nations Security Council condemning Tehran for its non-compliance with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The IAEA has said that it cannot confirm that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful in nature.
