BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhuanet) -- As there is still room in resolving the Iran nuclear issue within the framework of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), China hopes the international community regains trust in Iran, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said here on Thursday.

    "China supports the negotiations between Russia and Iran and hopes they will bear fruit," said Qin Gang at a regular press conference, adding that China hopes Iran will reinstate the suspension of activities related to uranium enrichment.

    "China also hopes Iran will cooperate in a comprehensive way with the IAEA and clarify the open questions in its nuclear program, to create condition for properly resolving the nuclear issue through negotiations," said Qin.

    He said China will continue to keep contacts with all sides and make diplomatic efforts to help resolve the Iran nuclear issue with the framework of IAEA.

    The IAEA will hold a board meeting on March 6. Qin said China hopes that the meeting will be helpful for the realization of the above goals. Enditem
