BRICS Not 'Obliged' to Follow U.S. Sanctions on Iran
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- India, China and other BRICS countries Wednesday said they will not sever their trade ties with oil-rich Iran, which is facing U.S. sanctions against its nuclear program.

UN resolutions do not forbid BRICS countries to engage in trade in essential commodities, Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma said, addressing a joint a press conference with other BRICS trade ministers.

Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said his country is 'not obliged to follow any domestic laws and rules of any particular country'.
