BEIJING - China welcomes the positive progress made by the international community in resolving Iran's nuclear issue, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said Wednesday.

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton accepted Iran's offer to resume talks on Tuesday in a reply to Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili.

Liu said France, Britain, Germany, China, Russia and the US recently reached a consensus with Iran on resuming the talks.

Liu said China has always worked to peacefully resolve the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue. He said China has made positive efforts to push for resumption of the talks.

"We will work with the other five members of the six-nation mechanism to push for the early resumption of talks with Iran, maintain the dialogue process and find a comprehensive, long-term and appropriate way to resolve the issue," Liu said.
