CHINA said yesterday that Iran's nuclear issue cannot be fundamentally addressed through sanctions and pressure.
"Dialogue and negotiation is the only right way out," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin at a regular news briefing.
"China opposes placing domestic law above international law and does not favor unilateral sanctions against other countries," Liu said in response to a question on new United States sanctions on Iran. On December 31, US President Barack Obama signed a defense funding bill, calling for new sanctions against financial institutions that do business with Iran's state banking institutions.
Liu said China had maintained "normal, open and transparent" ties with Iran in the fields of economics, trade and energy, "just like many other countries." China's economic exchanges with Iran neither went against United Nations Security Council resolutions nor affected China's stance on non-proliferation.
Liu said China had taken note of reports that Iran was ready to put into use new uranium enrichment facilities. "As a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Iran not only has the right to use nuclear energy peacefully, but also should fulfill its due international obligations," Liu said.
