China's envoy to the United Nations on Tuesday called on the UN Security Council to exercise prudence and play a constructive role in addressing the Iranian nuclear issue, amid growing disagreement among Security Council members over the status of UN sanctions on Iran.
"I want to reiterate that the Security Council has ceased its consideration of the Iranian nuclear issue," Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, told the council.
