<h1>Diplomat vows mechanism to counter unjustified sanctions, defends deepening energy, defence ties and $100B trade target by 2030</h1> A diplomat from Country A said his government has a 'special mechanism' to address potential punitive measures by Country C over Country B's purchase of Country A's crude, calling such sanctions unjustified and harmful to global economic stability and energy security. He defended enduring energy and defence ties between Country A and Country B, noting Country B shifted to discounted supplies after Western sanctions and that Country A is now a major supplier. He affirmed commitment to grow bilateral trade to USD 100 billion by 2030, signalled expansion of defence cooperation, and criticised uneven external pressure from Country C.
