President Xi Jinping Congratulates Ebrahim Raisi On His Election As President Of The Islamic Republic Of Iran

Xi Jinping pointed out in his message that China and Iran are comprehensive strategic partners, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. I highly value the development of China-Iran ties, and stand ready to work with President Raisi to strengthen bilateral strategic communication, consolidate political mutual trust, and broaden and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation of China and Iran in various fields, so as to benefit the two countries and their people.

In March Iran and China signed a 25-year strategic partnership which envisions comprehensive economic cooperation between the two Countries.

Xi added that he was willing to work with Raisi to strengthen strategic communication, consolidate mutual political trust, and expand and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation.

China is one of the six world powers involved in ongoing negotiations to revive a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which came undone after the US withdrew from it in 2018 and reimposed tough sanctions on Tehran.

In his first press conference as president-elect on Monday, Raisi said developing ties with China will be on agenda of his administration.

Ebrahim Raisi won Iran’s presidential election after securing over 60 percent of votes, the Iranian Interior Ministry announced on Saturday.
