The National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature,
fully endorses and supports the Chinese government's stance on the
Iraq issue and on the nuclear issue of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Jiang Enzhu, the spokesman for the
First Session of the 10th NPC on Tuesday.
In
reply to an Indian reporter's related question at a press
conference Tuesday morning, Jiang said the Chinese government's
basic position on the Iraqi issue covers three points:
First, the Chinese government stands for resolving the Iraq issue
politically within the framework of the United Nations, and utmost
efforts should be made to find a political solution to avert a war,
even if only with a slightest hope;
Secondly, the UN nuclear inspectors team should continue to
intensify its inspection of Iraq's weaponry and implement the
relevant UN Security Council resolutions;
Thirdly, China demands Iraq carry out the relevant UN Security
Council resolutions strictly and in an all-around way, so that it
would truly not possess any weapons of mass destruction, and the
sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Iraq should
be respected.
Meanwhile, the spokesman noted that the 10th NPC would hear and
deliberate the government work report, which incorporates a part of
China's international and foreign relations.
