SINGAPORE (AP)--A senior U.S. official said Monday that international talks on a third United Nations sanctions resolution on Iran over its nuclear program have taken "a step forward" with China's cooperation.
"I was particularly pleased that we made progress in our deliberations with the Chinese government," said U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, the chief American participant in Saturday's closed-door talks in Paris.
"We were able, with the Chinese government, to focus on a number of areas where we would agree to sanctions ... It was a step forward for us," Burns told reporters in Singapore.
