Iranian MP dissatisfied with Ahmadinejad’s visit to China
TEHRAN, June 13 (MNA) – MP Mohammad Mehdi Shahryari has criticized the president’s visit to China which voted in favor of new sanctions against Iran on Wednesday.
“Whenever a country acts against another country, bilateral ties won’t boost,” Shahryari, a member of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy committee, told Mehr News Agency on Saturday.
A day after the adoption of the fourth round of sanctions against Iran by the UN Security Council, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited China to attend the Shanghai Expo at “Iran Day”.
“Since most of political observers and experts agree on the fact that China and Russia are not reliable partners, ties with these countries should be revised. As long as a country acts against the other, their mutual ties won’t expand.”
Lamenting an endorsement of the resolution by some countries like Uganda, Gabon and Bosnia, Shahryari stated: “Their votes show that even if Latin American countries were the members in the United Nations Security Council, they could have been voting against us.”
“Our relations with these countries (Uganda, Gabon, and Bosnia) are limited and we cannot have more political and economic ties with them. They are actually under the pressure of the West, especially the U.S.,” Shahryari noted.
He also expressed his disagreement with some lawmakers who say Iran should use its supremacy in the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf in reaction to the new sanctions.
This approach is neither effective nor rational, he explained.
“These measures should only be used as the last resort against threats, more sanctions and foreign animosity against Islamic Republic of Iran,” Shahryari noted.
The new resolution allows inspection of Iranian ships. However, some MPs have threatened if Iran’s ships are inspected Iran will retaliate by inspecting foreign cargo.
