Chinese diplomat: unilateral sanctions create new humanitarian problems worldwide

New York, SANA- Permanent Representative of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations, Ambassador Zhang Jun, has stressed that unilateral sanctions imposed by some countries seriously affect global financial markets and create new humanitarian problems.

“The unilateral sanctions imposed by many countries have seriously negatively affected financial markets, trade and food, and this will affect people’s lives and create new humanitarian problems,” Zhang said in a speech during a session of the UN Security Council on Tuesday.

“The developing countries are not parties to this conflict, they should not be drawn into confrontation, nor should they suffer the repercussions of geopolitical confrontations between major powers,” Zhang added.
