Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said Wednesday Beijing fully supports Iran’s right to acquire nuclear technology for civilian use and is opposed to lopsided sanctions against Tehran.
“Next year marks the 40th anniversary of bilateral ties. Officials of the two countries should increase mutual exchange and set a new course of action for boosting cooperation,” he said in a meeting with Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Ali Fathollahi, in Beijing, IRIB reported.
“Iran is an important and powerful country in the region and China is keen on building cooperation with the Islamic state in key sectors,” the official was quoted as saying.
Yang recalled that “the world is rapidly moving toward a multi-polar situation, which would ultimately benefit the developing countries”.
Fathollahi said the 40th anniversary of establishment of bilateral ties offers suitable opportunity for improving two-way collaboration.
“Despite all the international developments, in the post-Islamic Revolution era, ties between Tehran and Beijing have improved significantly,” he noted.
He referred to Iran’s talks with G5+1 and expressed hope that the group would shun the policy of threats and sanctions and instead work for meaningful and constructive debate.
Talks between Iran and the G5+1 (Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany) ended on Tuesday in Geneva.
It was decided that the next round of talks will be held in Istanbul in January.
