俄罗斯促伊朗停止提炼浓缩铀、胡锦涛今参观波音飞机制造厂

*俄罗斯促伊朗停止提炼浓缩铀

俄罗斯再次敦促伊朗停止提炼浓缩铀，以结束国际间在伊朗核计划问题上出现的
僵持局面。俄罗斯外长拉夫诺夫说，全世界都希望看到伊朗采取紧急和具体的步
骤。拉夫诺夫是在八个主要工业化国家代表星期三在莫斯科开会间隙说这番话的
。
星期二， 联合国五个常任理事国和德国的高层官员就伊朗问题举行会谈，但是未
能就是否对其进行制裁达成协议。俄罗斯和中国仍然反对制裁，倾向于让国际原
子能机构来处理这个问题。
这一系列会议的一个星期之后，联合国安理会全体会议将听取国际原子能机构有
关伊朗问题的一份报告。

Russia Urges Iran to Stop Enriching Uranium

Russia is again urging Iran to stop uranium enrichment to end the
international standoff over its nuclear program.  Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov says the world wants to see urgent and concrete
steps from Iran. He spoke on the sidelines of a meeting of envoys from
the Group of Eight major industrialized nations today (Wednesday) in Moscow.

On Tuesday, top officials from the five permanent members of the U.N.
Security Council and Germany met on Iran, but failed to agree on whether
to push for sanctions.  Russia and China still oppose sanctions,
preferring instead for the International Atomic Energy Agency to
handle the issue.

The series of meetings come a week before the full U.N. Security Council
is to hear an I.A.E.A. report on Iran.

什。预期双方的会谈将集中讨论美国要求中国改革汇率、中国的人权纪录、贸易
以及北韩和伊朗的核计划等问题。

Chinese President Tours Boeing Plant Today

Chinese President Hu Jintao is to tour a manufacturing plant of the
aviation giant Boeing today (Wednesday) as part of his four-day visit
to the United States.  His visit to the plant in the northwestern
state of Washington comes days after Beijing announced a deal to
purchase 80 Boeing jets valued at around five-billion dollars.  Mr. Hu
arrived in Washington state Tuesday and toured the headquarters of
U.S. computer software giant Microsoft with company founder Bill Gates.

Hu Jintao travels to Washington D.C. later today, and meets Thursday
with President Bush at the White House. Those talks are expected to
focus on U.S. demands that China reform its currency, China's human
rights record, trade, and the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran.
