Special report: Iran Nuclear Crisis

Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing on Tuesday called upon Iran to step up cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), saying China hopes to see the resumption of diplomatic negotiations for regional peace and stability.

"We hope that Iran could cherish its negotiation channels with the European Union, Russia and other countries," Li said at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing Fifth Session of the Tenth National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature.

"Nothing else on earth is more precious than peace," he said, hoping that all the efforts from the international community could help restore diplomatic negotiations, and all the actions by the UN Security Council could boost regional peace and stability.
