China Urges US, Britain to Cancel "No-Fly" Zone in Iraq

China urged the United States and Britain to cancel the "no-fly" zone in Iraq and stop military actions against the country.

Chinese FM spokesman Sun Yuxi made the remarks when asked to comment on the April 6 bombing by US and British warplanes of residential districts in Iraq's Al Basrah and other regions, during which quite some civilians were injured.

"China is very concerned about the developments in Iraq and deeply disturbed over the serious civilian causalities resulted from the bombing of Iraq by the US and British planes", Sun said.

The Chinese side has always maintained and declared on many occasions that the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Iraq should be fully respected.

The establishment of the "no-fly" zone goes against the principles of the United Nations Charter and norms of international relations, and the bombing is detrimental to the efforts by the international community for resolving the Iraq issue, the spokesman pointed out.

The US and the UK should abolish immediately the "no-fly zone" and stop their military actions in the region.
