China reiterates opposition to unilateral sanctions on Iran

China reiterates opposition to unilateral sanctions on Iran
China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations has reiterated Beijings opposition to the US-led unilateral sanctions against Iran over its nuclear energy program.
China is always firmly against use or threat of use of force. We are not in favor of putting excessive pressure or new sanctions against Iran, Wang Min said on Wednesday in an address to a Security Council meeting.

China is firmly opposed to the unilateral sanctions took by some countries, which expanded the range of sanctions and damaged the interests and legitimate rights of other countries.

The United States, the Israeli regime and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program. Iran has categorically rejected the claim.

Using the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have imposed several rounds of illegal unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

China calls for negotiations and diplomacy to resolve the Western standoff over Irans nuclear energy program, Wang said.
All parties concerned should strengthen contacts with stronger confidence, show their flexibility and sincerity to promote the dialogue process, in order to create the conditions for reaching a comprehensive, long-term and proper solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, Wang said.
Iran and the P5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States plus Germany) wrapped up their latest talks in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on February 27. Both sides have held several meetings mainly over Tehrans nuclear energy program.

Iran and the P5+1 agreed to convene in Almaty again on April 5-6 for the next round of the negotiations after holding expert-level talks in the Turkish city of Istanbul on March 17-18.

The talks in Almaty, which have achieved positive results, marked the first step to begin the substantive negotiations process and are conductive to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations, the Chinese official said.

For a long time China has made tremendous efforts to keep the issue on the right track. China is willing to continue to work with all parties to reach a constructive and peaceful solution to the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic means. he added.
