China will take a "constructive attitude" on working with other members of the United Nations Security Council in holding further consultations on the Iraq weapons issue and seek a consensus as quickly as possible.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said Thursday that the UN Security Council was having close consultations on the issue.
"Thus UN weapons inspectors would be enabled to return to Iraq and begin their work as fast as they can to provide reports as a basis for the Security Council to make judgments," Liu said.
The spokesman said China had noticed that the United States and Britain had made some amendments to a draft they had proposed earlier in view of concerns of the other permanent members of the Security Council, China, Russia and France.
