China FM: 'Significant progress' in Iran talks
BEIJING - China's Foreign Minister has reported "significant progress" in the core issues around the talks on Iran's nuclear program, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday, as the six world powers and Iran extended talks into an extra day.
"It should be said that the thinking of a solution is clear, the positions of the parties are closer to one another, there is significant progress in the core issues," said Wang, according to a statement on the foreign ministry's website.
Wang outlined a four-point plan: calling on parties to strengthen their political leadership, meet each other halfway, divide the process into phases and consider "all-inclusive" plans to resolve the issue.
"All parties should display creative thinking and consider all-inclusive resolution plans," Wang said. "I want to emphasise, it is necessary to consider all parties' core concerns and it is extremely important to allow the UN Security Council to play its role."
