Iran, China seeking to deepen ‘strategic partnership’
Tehran (KNA) - Top diplomats of Iran and China have emphasized the two nations’ determination to promote their “strategic” relations in various areas as a high-ranking delegation from Tehran visits Beijing for talks.
During a meeting on Tuesday with Chinese State Councilor Wang Yi in Beijing, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Tehran views the "strategic partnership between Iran and China as one of our most important relations."
"Our relationship with China is very valuable to us. We consider the comprehensive strategic partnership between Iran and China as one of our most important relations," said the Iranian minister.
Wang, in turn, told Zarif that China seeks to deepen "strategic trust" with Iran, adding that a 2016 visit by President Xi Jinping to Tehran elevated relations between the two states to a strategic level.
