Chinese Envoy Says Realism Required for Nuclear Talks

The Chinese envoy to Tehran Pang Sen referred to the nuclear talks between Iran and the G5+1, and said, China has always stressed to the western negotiators that showing the necessary realism is needed to reach the final result, AVA Diplomatic reports.His remarks came in the meeting held with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif who called for the further expansion of ties between Iran and China in all fields, especially in economic areas.

Zarif underlined Tehran’s efforts to materialize its right to use peaceful nuclear technology, and said reaching a final deal between Iran and the world powers is possible if the later avoids raising excessive demands.

“We pursue Iran’s righteous rights, and attainment of an agreement will be possible if certain sides show seriousness and avoid raising excessive demands,” Zarif said.

Before the talks, Iran and the world powers said that they were resolved to start drafting a long-awaited final deal in the fifth round of talks, but after several days of negotiations Zarif said the opposite sides seem to lack the necessary “readiness for serious talks”.

The sixth round of talks between Iran and the G5+1 over a comprehensive final deal is slated to start in Vienna on July 2.
