Iran's most senior nuclear official today arrived in China for talks, a day after Beijing agreed to begin drafting a UN resolution imposing sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear programme.

"There will be a great deal of further consultation, not only among the [six], but other members of the security council and other [UN] member nations during the next weeks," Clinton added.
