China Opposes Sanctions on Iran: Premier
Beijing, February 4 (KCNA) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday declared China's stand against sanctions on Iran.

The sanctions will not drastically solve the nuclear issue of Iran and the use of armed forces will further confuse the situation of the Middle East region and the rest of the world, the premier said.

He said that China regards dialogue and cooperation as the only correct and effective way for solving Iran's nuclear issue.

China will continue normal economic trade including oil trade with Iran and will not bargain on the principle, he said, stressing that the normal economic trade between countries should be protected.
