Israeli FM to China for Iran sanctions talks
JERUSALEM - Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Tzipi Livni leaves for China on Saturday for talks with the government on sanctions against Iran over Teherans controversial nuclear programme, Israeli sources said.
Her meetings in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday will outline potential further UN sanctions which could be taken against Teheran if it fails to halt uranium enrichment. Livnis visit follows trips by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Russia, France and Britain in a bid to agree a sanctions strategy. Olmert also visited Beijing in January for discussions on Irans nuclear policy.
