WANA (Nov 05) – Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation on Wednesday with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi to discuss the latest status of bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments.
During the call, Araghchi expressed appreciation for China’s “principled and responsible” stance in rejecting the so-called “snapback” mechanism at the United Nations Security Council. He noted that constructive cooperation among China, Iran, and Russia in countering U.S. unilateralism had been of significant importance and was supported by 121 members of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Referring to the continued “destabilizing actions” of Israel in West Asia, Araghchi stressed that the international community must stand against “warmongering and hegemonic policies” and work to prevent further escalation in the region.
For his part, Wang Yi reaffirmed the strategic nature of relations between Tehran and Beijing, highlighting the importance of maintaining close coordination and regular consultations in the United Nations and other multilateral platforms.
The Chinese foreign minister also reiterated support for Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and emphasized the country’s nuclear rights as a key member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Both sides referenced the constructive meeting between the presidents of the two countries in September and the upcoming session of the High-Level Cooperation Mechanism. They underscored their commitment to advancing the agreements reached under the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and expressed hope for their effective implementation.
The two ministers agreed to continue close diplomatic engagement and step up joint efforts to deepen bilateral cooperation in the coming year, which marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Iran and China.
