[China responds to whether it will continue to import Iranian oil] On June 27, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun hosted a regular press conference.
A reporter from Iraq's Rudao TV asked, after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, has China's trade with Iraq returned to the level before the conflict? In addition, US President Trump said that China can continue to buy oil from Iran. May I ask if China has started importing now? How much is imported?
Guo Jiakun said that regarding the first question, China and Iraq maintain normal trade relations. China hopes that Israel and Iran will achieve a sustained and effective ceasefire and promote peace and stability in the Middle East.
Regarding the second question, Guo Jiakun said that as we have emphasized before, China will take reasonable energy security measures based on its own national interests.
