China calls for lifting of ‘illegal unilateral sanctions’ on Iran

BEIJING, China — China’s Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu calls for an end to “illegal unilateral sanctions” on Iran, after meeting diplomats for talks on Tehran’s nuclear program.

“We conducted in-depth exchanges of views on the nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions. We emphasised the necessity of ending all illegal unilateral sanctions,” Ma tells reporters shortly after discussions with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.
