Iran’s foreign minister has appreciated China’s condemnation of the aggression by Israel and the United States against the country’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty, voicing Tehran’s readiness to further develop friendly ties.
In a meeting with his Chinese counterpart on the sidelines of the 25th Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in China on Wednesday, Araghchi thanked Beijing for its “principled, constructive, and influential” position in international forums, particularly at UN Security Council meetings, in condemning the aggressions against Iran.
He briefed his Chinese counterpart on the latest developments following these aggressions and the cessation of hostilities, emphasizing the responsibility of the UN Security Council and all governments to uphold peace and security in the region and the world.
Araghchi also reaffirmed the Iranian government’s serious commitment to enhancing comprehensive friendly relations within the framework of a strategic partnership based on mutual respect and trust.
Wang Yi, for his part, said China will continue to support Iran in safeguarding its national sovereignty and dignity, resisting power politics and bullying, defending its legitimate rights and interests through political negotiation, and adhering to the principle of good-neighborliness and friendship to continuously improve and develop relations with its neighboring countries.
As a comprehensive strategic partner, China is willing to work with Iran to deepen mutual trust, strengthen cooperation, expand exchanges, and promote the steady and long-term development of China-Iran relations, Wang said.
China, he said, has always opposed the use of force or the threat of force and advocates resolving differences through dialogue and consultation.
China highly values Iran's commitment not to developing nuclear weapons, respects Iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and appreciates Iran's pursuit of peace through diplomatic means, Wang said.
China supports Iran in maintaining the momentum of dialogue with all parties, and is willing to continue to play a constructive role in promoting the settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue and stability in the Middle East region, he noted.
During the meeting, the Iranian and Chinese foreign ministers also reviewed the current status of bilateral agreements and cooperation projects in various economic and commercial sectors.
They discussed opportunities and capacities for expanding relations, particularly by leveraging China’s presidency of the SCO and Iran’s active participation in upcoming events of the organization.
