Importing Oil from Iran Is Legitimate: Spokesman for Chinese Foreign Ministry
Beijing, March 22 (KCNA) -- Hong Lei, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of China, in a press conference on March 21 said that it is legitimate for China to import oil from Iran.

It is legitimate for China to import oil from Iran through regular routes as required by its own economic development. And it does not conflict with the relevant UNSC resolution and does not harm the interests of the third party and international community, he said.

China is consistently opposed to a country inflicting sanctions on the other country according to its home law and putting unilateral sanctions on the third country, in particular, he said.
