"We also believe that the arrangement and discussions (between the US and India) should take into consideration the concerns of the international community," Chinese Foreign Ministryspokesman Liu Jianchao said when asked to comment about International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei's visit to India.

"We hope that relevant parties can find a way out to exercise wisdom so as to find a solution to this issue," Liu added.

In the past, China had said that it believes that all countries can carry out cooperation on the peaceful use of nuclear energy under the precondition of abiding by the international obligations.

"The relevant cooperation should be conducive to maintaining and strengthening the principles and validity of the international non-proliferation mechanism," the Chinese

Foreign Ministry said last month, adding that Beijing [Images] will participate in the discussions on the relevant issues under this principle.
