Iran's grand ayatollah criticizes officials’ visits to China
QOM, June 15 (MNA) — Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani has criticized Iranian officials’ visits to the Shanghai Expo as China endorsed a Western-backed UN sanctions resolution against Iran.
Talking to a number of cleric lawmakers, Ayatollah Hamedani said, “China voted in favor of the anti-Iran resolution by following the footsteps of the U.S. and Russia… Why Iranian officials should visit the country after that move.”
China also betrayed the Islamic Republic by refusing to accept Iran’s membership to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and it was not appropriate that Iranian officials visit this country, he noted.
Moreover, import of Chinese goods into the country has harmed local economy badly, the ayatollah lamented.
