BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhua) — China on Monday denied foreign media reports that Iran is close to reaching an agreement with China to purchase CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles, and called on relevant parties to choose a course of action that will help de-escalate the tense situation.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made the statement at a regular briefing when asked to confirm the veracity of reports claiming the missiles would be among the most advanced weapons China has supplied to Iran in recent years.
“These reports are not true,” the diplomat said, emphasizing that China, as a responsible large country, strictly adheres to its international obligations.
China opposes the imposition of negative associations and the spread of disinformation, hoping that the relevant parties will choose a course of action that will contribute to de-escalation of the tense situation, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added. –0–
