BEIJING: A Chinese foreign ministry’s spokesperson Monday said China would cooperate with Iran without violating its international obligations.
“The Chinese government has consistently opposed any country’s implementation of unilateral sanction against other countries in accordance with its domestic laws,” Hua Chunying said during her regular press briefing held here.
Responding to a question whether Chinese companies will withdraw from Iran, she reiterated that the Chinese government has consistently opposed any country’s implementation of unilateral sanctions against other countries in accordance with its domestic laws.
China and Iran have always maintained normal economic and trade exchanges. China will cooperate with Iran without violating its international obligations, she added.
As for the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, she said that China has repeatedly stated its position.
