"China has never changed such a policy," Qin told a regular press conference when asked to make comments on whether China will alter its stance over the Iranian nuclear issue.

Zhang Yan, director-general of the Arms Control and Disarmament Department of China's Foreign Ministry, will attend a meeting on the Iran nuclear issue in Berlin on Sept. 7.
