Iranian President Raisi on July 29, when Xi Jinping pointed out that the world has entered a
new period of turbulence and transformation due to the combined effects of the century-old
changes and the epidemic of the century. Facing the complicated international situation, China
and Iran have strengthened solidarity and cooperation, which has enhanced the common
interests of both sides and safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of the vast number of
developing countries. The Chinese side views China-Iran relations from a strategic perspective,
and is willing to work with the Iranian side to push for new progress in the China-Iran
comprehensive strategic partnership. Xi Jinping stressed that the two sides should continue to
firmly support each other on issues concerning each other's core interests and major concerns,
and maintain non-interference in internal affairs, the basic norm of international relations. He

comprehensive cooperation plan between the two countries ... and strengthen communication
and coordination in regional and international affairs. China always supports Middle East
countries in resolving regional security issues through solidarity and cooperation, and supports
the people of the Middle East in exploring development paths independently, and is willing to
strengthen communication and cooperation with Iran within the framework of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization and other frameworks.
