China today said it supports a second term for Japan's Yukiya Amano as director general of IAEA, the UN's atomic watchdog.

The International Atomic Energy Agency's board of governors approved a new four-year term for Director General Amano yesterday.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily press briefing that China hopes the IAEA will continue to carry out all of its functions under Amano's leadership and play a just, objective and constructive role.

"The Chinese side will collaborate with the agency and its director general, as always, and further step up cooperation with the agency," Hua told a media briefing here today.
