China says it disapproves of EU sanctions against Iran
(BEIJING) - China said Friday it opposed tough new sanctions imposed by the European Union on Iran due to its contested nuclear programme, again calling for more talks to resolve the standoff.
"China disapproves of the unilateral sanctions put in place by the EU against Iran," foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said in a statement.
"We hope the relevant parties will adhere to diplomatic means on the issue, and properly resolve the issue through talks and negotiation," she said.
