Senators Press China on Iran and North Korea

August 12, 2006 :: Reuters :: News

U.S. senators visiting China have confronted Beijing about its ties with North Korea and Iran, reports Reuters. At a news briefing yesterday, Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) said that the senators raised claims that a missile China had sold to Iran was possibly passed onto Hezbollah forces in Lebanon which fired it at an Israeli ship. According to Specter, Chinese officials did not confirm that the missile was Chinese yet also did they deny the claim. “The reply came from one of the representatives that sales were made to a sovereign country and it was under an arrangement, as I said before, that there would not be a resale or a transfer,” he said. Specter added that the senators had also expressed Washington’s belief that China needed to do more to press North Korea to return to the negotiating table. (Article)
