Iran’s president vows greater cooperation with China and Russia, citing ‘totalitarian’ US
Iran will expand cooperation with Beijing and Moscow and implement a 25-year accord with China to confront geopolitical pressure with the West, president Masoud Pezeshkian told visiting Chinese Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing on Wednesday.
In a meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Pezeshkian said the country stood ready to expand ties with China and Russia to counter “unilateralism” from the United States, which he also accused of being “totalitarian” in international affairs, according to the Iranian presidential office.
He said his administration was committed to implementing the deal that China and Iran entered into in 2021.
Zhang emphasised that Iran was a strategically important partner for China, and Beijing appreciated its “effective” and “constructive” role in regional and international affairs.
