Israel seeks China's support over Iran

Analysts say Beijing will continue to push for dialogue with Teheran

The Israeli embassy in Beijing yesterday confirmed with China Daily that Israel would send a high-level delegation to China, in a move that Israeli media said is an attempt to persuade China to support sanctions against Iran.

However, Chinese experts say the visit will not change China's current stance on the issue. Media in Israel reported yesterday that a high-ranking Israeli delegation will travel to Beijing at the end of the month for discussions with senior Chinese officials.
