China called for immediately lifting sanctions on Iran to avoid interference in the COVID-19 fight and damage to the country’s economy and people’s livelihood, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang said Monday.
Geng made remarks at a press briefing when asked to comment on a letter sent by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to leaders of several countries, in which he accused the U.S. government of continuing to thwart Iran’s efforts to counter the pandemic, with sanctions having caused about 200 billion U.S. dollars of direct damages to the Iranian economy in less than two years.
