The Head of Iran-China Friendship Association said his country would never become united with the US against Iran, ISNA reported.
"We all know that the US is following hostile policies towards Iran, but China is Iran's friend," Xua Li Min told ISNA.
"China is an independent country with long-established friendly ties with Iran and it does not seek to become united with the US against Iran," he added as saying that America intends to impose the hostile policy to China as well and invite it to enmity with Iran.
"China would remain Iran's friend," he said adding, "Iran and China are two important economic and trade partners."
China exports industrial goods and Iran exports energy, the Chinese official said adding bilateral trade exchanges hit 40 billion dollars in 2011 although the two countries hold more potentials for economic cooperation.
