  • “China and Russia have been our strategic partners and close friends during challenging times,” Araqchi stated.
  • He highlighted the significance of ongoing consultations with these nations, especially in light of indirect talks with the U.S.
  • Araqchi also mentioned his recent trip to Russia, focusing on similar discussions.

The Iranian Foreign Minister expressed gratitude for China’s longstanding support of Iran’s civilian nuclear program. He affirmed that consultations with China would continue, noting its role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a key partner for Iran.

In a statement on his X page, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei shared that Araqchi’s visit includes meetings with top Chinese officials to further enhance diplomatic relations. He praised the evolving “historical-civilizational” relationship between Tehran and Beijing over the last fifty years.

Baqaei concluded by stating, “Continuous and close consultations between the two sides at high levels are a clear manifestation of the determination from the leaders of both countries to expand relations in all areas of mutual interest.”

  • EU’s Ongoing Hostility Toward Iran: What Lies Ahead?

    The recent EU-Persian Gulf Cooperation Council statement regarding the UAE’s claims over the Iranian islands of Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa reflects ongoing EU antagonism toward Iran, influenced by the UK, France, and Germany. Historically, these islands have been under Iranian governance for over 2,500 years, with the UK previously recognizing Iran’s sovereignty. The EU’s support for UAE claims undermines historical facts, while also serving as a distraction from its internal challenges, such as the Ukrainian conflict. Future relations hinge on the EU’s willingness to engage diplomatically and address historical grievances to rebuild trust with Iran.
