China urges flexibility in Geneva nuclear talks

China has called for a flexible and pragmatic approach during the ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the six major world powers in the Swiss city of Geneva.
"We hold that all related sides should take a flexible and practical attitude, and seek a win-win solution that benefits all sides," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, said in a daily press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.

He added that his country hopes that the talks on Iran nuclear issue could make new progress as soon as possible, adding that China has been working toward this end.

Hong said China is prepared to cooperate with all parties to help the Geneva talks succeed.

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said it is possible for the Islamic Republic and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, China, Russia, France and Britain - plus Germany to reach a deal over Tehrans nuclear issue during the ongoing talks in Geneva, if all sides do their best.

If all parties make efforts, we could reach an agreement in the negotiations in Geneva, the top Iranian diplomat stated.

The US, Israel, and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.

Iran rejects the allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Irans civilian nuclear program has been diverted toward military purposes.
