Proceeding contribution from Baroness Beckett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on International Affairs.


International Affairs

First, I am not sure whether the Iranian ambassador has arrived yet—[Interruption.] If he has, I have not been aware of that. We have continued discussions with the Chinese Government. I know that there are things that we do that China will be concerned about and vice versa, but, at the present time, there is a great deal of united concern in the Security Council about the position with regard to Iranian work on nuclear activity. There is a great wish to work together to resolve some of these difficulties, as we did last week in reaching a united conclusion about events in North Korea. That has to be, at this moment in time, the focus of our activity and relationship.
