It could be "dangerous" to introduce a UN Security Council resolution to force Iran to halt uranium enrichment activities, the Chinese ambassador to the UN said here Saturday.
Ambassador Wang Guangya, who presides over the 15-member Security Council this month, would not comment on whether China would veto a Chapter 7 resolution, which Western diplomats have said they will introduce next week.
However, he reiterated the need to find a diplomatic solution to the situation and said the International Atomic Energy Agency was the organization most capable of ensuring that Iran complies with the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
"If you introduce a resolution not to reinforce the IAEA but to replace it, that is dangerous," Wang told reporters following a talk at the University of Chicago.
