China says aims to deepen long-term strategic partnership with Iran
The year 2026 marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan and also the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Iran, the Chinese ambassador said in an article published by IRNA.
He said that China is willing to work together with the Iranian side to enhance cooperation in the exchange of governance experiences.
Cong said that China is interested in contributing to the development of a more just and equitable global governance system and offering more of its capacity to promote regional peace and sustainable global development and prosperity.
China is Iran’s largest trade partner. Relations between the two countries have been expanding in recent years due to the Islamic republic’s “Look to the East policy” policy. Their relations have further strengthened following the West’s pressure on Iran over its nuclear program.
Back in 2021, Tehran and Beijing signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement to reinforce their long-standing economic and political alliance. Both states are subject to different levels of illegal sanctions imposed by the United States.
