BEIJING - China hopes relevant parties will resume dialogues amid Iran's cuts on oil exports to British and French companies, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday.

China has consistently advocated settling international disputes through dialogue and consultation and does not support resolving such issues through pressure and confrontation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.

Iran's oil ministry announced Sunday that Iran has stopped oil sales to British and French companies, just months before the European Union's embargo on Iranian oil will take effect.
