TEHRAN, 28 April 2022, (TON): State media reported “Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi expressed Wednesday his government’s desire for closer cooperation with China in remarks made during a visit by the Chinese defense minister.”
According to the report, Raisi told “China’s Minister of National Defense Wei Fenghe that Tehran sees its ties with Beijing as strategic.”
Closer cooperation would serve to confront what the Iranian president described as US unilateralism as talks to revive Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers have stalled.
Raisi was quoted as saying “confronting unilateralism and creating stability and order is possible through cooperation of independent and like-minded powers.”
Wei in turn said “improving ties between Iran and China would provide security particularly in the current critical and tense situation.”
