Chinese Envoy: Meddling in Tehran-Beijing Ties Unacceptable

China has strategic cooperation with Iran in various fields and no country is allowed to interfere with the two countries’ mutual ties, the Chinese ambassador in Tehran said.

It initially granted waivers to eight major customers of Iranian crude, including China, but did not extend them after their May expiry.
