Iran's Foreign Minister Says Tehran Values Strategic Partnership With China
Abbas Araghchi says decisions made today will shape the region's future strategic balance, according to Iranian state media.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran attaches special importance and value to its strategic partnership with China, according to a report by Iran's official news agency IRNA.
Araghchi stressed that decisions made today will affect the future strategic balance of the region, IRNA reported, though the outlet did not provide further details on the specific context, venue or occasion of the remarks.
The comments come amid Iran's continued efforts to deepen ties with China, which has emerged as a key economic and diplomatic partner for Tehran, particularly as Iran faces ongoing Western sanctions.
IRNA's report did not elaborate on what specific decisions Araghchi was referring to or provide additional context about the current state of Iran-China relations at the time of the statement.
Iran and China signed a 25-year strategic cooperation agreement in 2021, covering economic, political and security cooperation between the two countries.
