Credit: Reuters/Jason Lee BEIJING/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama urged his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao to work together on pressing Iran over its nuclear activities, but Hu did not openly commit to new sanctions on Tehran, according to official reports on Friday. World Obama and Hu discussed the growing international push to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions in an hour-long telephone call that followed China's agreement on Wednesday to enter into serious negotiations over possible new U.N.-backed sanctions against Tehran. Western powers say Tehran wants the means to make nuclear weapons, but China -- which buys large amounts of oil from Iran -- has for months fended off calls to back sanctions. Together with China's announcement on Thursday that President Hu will attend a nuclear security summit in Washington this month, the in-depth talk between the two leaders also augured lower tensions between Washington and Beijing after a rash of disputes. "President Obama underscored the importance of working together to ensure that Iran lives up to its international obligations," the White House said in a statement after the telephone call, which took place later on Thursday Washington time, which is Friday morning in Beijing. Western powers say Tehran is violating international nuclear safeguards and have told it to curtail uranium enrichment work, which could eventually be used to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons. Iran denies it is seeking nuclear weapons and says its nuclear activities are peaceful. In remarks reported on Chinese state television, Hu told Obama that he opposes the spread of nuclear weapons, but he did not directly broach Iran or sanctions. "China has always taken seriously the issue of nuclear security, and opposed nuclear proliferation and terrorism," said Hu. PLENTY OF ROOM FOR HAGGLING The Chinese president's reported comments, and remarks from his foreign minister, showed that while Beijing may be ready to consider new sanctions against Iran, it is not prepared to publicly commit to supporting such sanctions, leaving room for haggling in the U.N. Security Council. China is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, each wielding the power to veto any resolution and thus block proposed U.N. sanctions. Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi called for "flexibility" during talks with Iran's top nuclear envoy Saeed Jalili, who flew to Beijing on Thursday. Yang's brief published remarks from his meeting with Jalili did not mention backing sanctions, but they also did not repeat China's long-standing line that sanctions are not the "fundamental" cure to the dispute. Yang "urged all sides to enhance diplomatic efforts and demonstrate flexibility, and to create the conditions for resolving the Iran nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on its website (www.mfa.gov.cn) on Friday. Beijing and Washington have jousted in recent months over Internet censorship, Tibet, U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan and U.S. charges that China keeps its yuan currency undervalued, raising the possibility that those tensions could spill over into dealings over Iran. "I don't think China wants these bilateral issues to overshadow negotiations (over Iran), which is really an international issue," said Guo Xiangang, a former Chinese diplomat to Tehran. "China has always understood that it will take some time for relations with the United States to overcome the tensions, but also that the tensions would never overwhelm the whole relationship," said Guo, now a vice president of the China Institute of International Studies in Beijing. At the United Nations, diplomats said the United States, Britain, France and Germany expect to meet with both Russia and China next week to begin drafting sanctions proposals. A diplomat with knowledge of the talks said on Thursday China probably would support U.S. proposals to blacklist banks, impose travel bans and freeze assets, but would not blacklist Iranian shipping firms, ban arms imports, or target oil and gas sectors.

They have played this game before. What is different now? ccharles Report As Abusive Apr 02, 2010 12:09am EDT The United States will one day run out of room to use our military to back its games of rule-the-world with one set of rules for itself and another for the rest of the world. I think Iran has the right to nuclear technology the sames as Israel. And, if Iran is to be sanctioned then so to Israel! And, I personally believe that Israel’s actions in the Middle East is more of a threat to world peace than any other country, or organization of terrorist-they are just terrorist on our payroll that gives them a pass! China and Russia must protect it’s geopolitical influence and stability in their region of the world by supporting its long time cooperations with countries like Iran who have stood alone for far to long as a line in the sand against western hegomony over the oil fields of the Persian Gulf. Both countries know with US control over this regions oil field it can call the shots and someday threaten them both on many areas of economic and strategic issues. At one point in Middle East history Israel had sided with western governments in a nuclear brinkmanship over the Suez Channel against Russia or the U.S.S.R. History has a long memory-even as NATO and western commerce is robust within both Russia and China. Plus, the US has a history of turning on its previous relationship, once it feels it has the advantage and can undergo radical foreign policy changes at the changing of the guard within the White House from one party to another. signman34 Report As Abusive Apr 02, 2010 2:06am EDT Well tell china to stop subsiding oil to there industry it should be terrified at 100 present. All food and any animal feed should have to be inspected to be sure it safe. The pres should tell china to fo. sell all your assets in the us. I for one would be very happy. Not to sure about wallmart though. gregn Report As Abusive Apr 02, 2010 2:28am EDT USA is one big bully, if you pay attention half of current weapons and ammunation with Iranian are Made in USA, before they sold weapon to shah of iran now they are selling to saudi , iraq and other gulf states, it wont be big deal to USA to change sides, as history have shown. just scare one and make others buy weapons from you, after then again change side bidur Report As Abusive Apr 02, 2010 2:43am EDT The so call western bullies who who charged out of europe and terrorised the none european world, with savage impunity for all life form property, is no position to tell any none european how to protect themselves from them. Iran has the right as a sovereign nation to protect itself its people and its assets from the western natuions that has attacked her in the past. Those of you who wat to disagree with me answer this single question–When have a african or a non european nation attacked and plundered a european nation, or even threatened to in the last 400 years? cuniverse Report As Abusive Apr 02, 2010 3:17am EDT Come look at it?
