China FM in flurry of phone calls after US report on Iran released

"The Chinese side is willing to continue to make efforts to appropriately resolve the Iranian nuclear issue," the statement quoted Yang as telling Solana in the late-night telephone call.
In a report released Monday, the US National Intelligence Estimate said Iran halted its nuclear weapons drive in 2003 and indicated that US charges about Tehran`s atomic goals have been overblown for at least two years.
During the discussions, Solana also briefed Yang on his recent talks with Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, the statement said.
In a Tuesday morning call to Rice, Yang "exchanged views on the Iranian nuclear issue," it added, without going into details.
