China not in favor of referring Iran nuclear issue to UN
www.chinaview.cn 2005-08-11 07:32:50

    UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese Ambassador Wang Guangya said Wednesday that it would not be helpful to submit the Iranian nuclear issue to the Security Council.

    Wang made the remarks before the monthly luncheon between UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Security Council members.

    "The Council has too many things on the table. Why should we have more?" Wang said. "The Council is not the proper place for it."

    Wang believed the European Union and Iran can work out a solution through diplomatic efforts, stressing that the issue should be solved within the framework of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

    The IAEA confirmed that the last seals on Iran's uranium conversion facilities in the central city Isfahan were removed by the UN nuclear watchdog inspectors Wednesday afternoon, marking a complete unsealing of the sensitive nuclear site. Enditem
