BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- China denied here
Thursday a Russian report that it will sell fighter jets to Iran, saying no
talks were conducted between China and Iran.
"The report is false and irresponsible," Foreign
Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular press conference in response to a
report by a Russian news agency that China has signed a deal to sell Iran jets
and fighters in the next two years.
"China has not conducted any negotiation on so-called
fighter issue," said Liu. "We hope the Russian newspaper could clarify its
report," he added.
