Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan, who is in Mexico to attend the meeting of APEC Ministers, says China favors a political settlement of the Iraq weapons inspection dispute within the framework of the United Nations.

Tang Jiaxuan said this in a phone call to French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin on the Iraq issue.

He says China hopes that consensus will be reached at the consultations of UN Security Council as early as possible so that UN weapons inspectors can return to Iraq to resume their work of inspection smoothly and effectively.

In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a press conference that China will continue to keep close contacts and consult with relevant parties to promote an early political settlement of the Iraq issue within the framework of the United Nations.
