China Renews Strong Opposition to Unilateral Sanctions against Iran
TEHRAN (FNA)- A Chinese top political figure, in a meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here on Tuesday, voiced his country's strong opposition to the West's unilateral sanctions against Iran.
"China resolutely opposes the western and US unilateral sanctions against Iran," member of the Chinese Central Leadership Council Li Chang said here in Tehran on Tuesday.
"China is against the adoption of sanctions and pressures to deal with Iran's nuclear case and it has always recommended that the issue be resolved through talks and dialogue," Chang added.
He further voiced China's full support for Iran's right to use peaceful nuclear energy, and added, "China supports Iran's legitimate right to make a peaceful use (of the nuclear energy) as a member of the Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and it has always wanted a solution to Iran's nuclear issue through talks and negotiations."
Chang also praised Iran for its remarkable role in the expansion of ties between the two countries, and stated, "The Chinese government considers itself a close and conventional friend of the Iranian nation and has always been committed to the policy of cooperation with Iran."
After the UN Security Council ratified a sanctions resolution against Iran on June 9, the United States and the European Union started approving their own unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program, mostly targeting the country's energy and banking sectors.
Both Russia and China have voiced strong protest against the West's unilateral sanctions against Iran, cautioning that such US-led measures undermine collective action and policy on Iran.
The US-led West accuses Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.
Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.
Tehran has dismissed West's demands as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iranians' national resolve to continue the path.
Political observers believe that the United States has remained at loggerheads with Iran mainly over the independent and home-grown nature of Tehran's nuclear technology, which gives the Islamic Republic the potential to turn into a world power and a role model for other third-world countries.
