 London, Dec. 18 - China on Tuesday denied reports that it had sold J-10 fighter jets to Iran, the official Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters that reports of such a sale were "baseless" and "irresponsible".
"China has never consulted with Iran on the so-called fighter jets issue, and has no consideration in this regard", Qin said.
He added that Beijing always took a “prudent and responsible” attitude towards arms exports and imposed strict controls over such exports according to its international obligations and domestic laws and regulations.
