China hopes that all parties involved in the most recent round of Iranian nuclear talks will push for progress, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif held a six-hour talk in Geneva on Saturday to address the remaining differences of the Iran nuclear issue.
Some enduring differences between Iran and the West over the nuclear program of the country have hindered the progress in preparing the draft for a possible nuclear agreement, Iran's senior nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi said in Geneva on Saturday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said the overall tendency of negotiations of the comprehensive deal is positive and all parties have expressed strong political willingness to reach an agreement as early as possible.
China hopes all parties can values the achievements they have made so far and make wise political decisions, Hua said.
China is willing to make joint efforts with all parties involved to contribute to the progress in the upcoming negotiations, Hua said.
According to a source from the Iranian delegation, the talks will be resumed next week in Vienna with deputies and experts.
