China will unswervingly develop friendly cooperation with Iran no matter how international and regional situation changes, Chinese President Xi Jinping said.
Xi made the remarks when meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the 16th BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan, the first held since the group's expansion earlier this year which saw several new members including Iran joining the emerging-market cooperative mechanism.
At the meeting, Xi said that China will never waver in its readiness to develop friendly cooperation with Iran.
"Iran is a country with important regional and international influence, and it is also a good friend and partner of China. As transformations of the world unseen in a century are unfolding at a faster pace, the strategic significance of China-Iran relations has become more prominent. I have said on many occasions that no matter how the international and regional situation changes, China will unswervingly develop friendly cooperation with Iran. We congratulate on and welcome Iran's participation in the BRICS Summit for the first time as a full member and stand ready to enhance cooperation with Iran within the framework of the BRICS cooperative mechanism," Xi said.
