Araghchi hails Iran-China-Russia cooperation against US unilateralism
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi praised “constructive cooperation” between China, Iran, and Russia in countering the unilateralism of the US and certain Western countries.
“The constructive cooperation between China, Iran, and Russia in countering the unilateralism of the United States and certain Western countries in the United Nations was of great significance,” the Iranian foreign minister told his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, in a phone conversation on Wednesday.
The Iranian minister also condemned the Israeli regime for its continued destabilizing actions in West Asia, urging the international community to stand against the “warmongering and hegemonic policies” of Israel to prevent further escalation in the region.
For his part, Wang Yi reaffirmed the strategic nature of the Tehran-Beijing ties and underscored the need for continued coordination and regular contacts between the two countries at the UN and other multilateral institutions.
The Chinese minister also praised Iran’s peaceful approach to using nuclear energy and reiterated China’s support for Iran’s nuclear rights as a principal member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Both sides highlighted the constructive meeting between their presidents in September and expressed hope that the upcoming session of the High-Level Cooperation Mechanism would accelerate the implementation of agreements reached under the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Back in 2021, Tehran and Beijing signed a 25-year comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, marking a milestone in bilateral relations between the two countries.
