China reaffirms friendly Iran ties

China's Ambassador to Iran has reiterated Beijing's determination to expand ties with Tehran amid Western-led efforts to impose more unilateral sanctions on the Islamic Republic.


During a Saturday visit to the Iranian central city of Arak, Ambassador Yu Hongyang described Iran-China relations as satisfactory and added, “Considering the long history of the ties, there is no policy with respect to changing it.”

China is seeking to bolster its politico-economic ties with the Islamic Republic and our bilateral collaborations will further expand in the future, the official told reporters.

Yu's remarks come against the backdrop of a persisting US-led Western campaign to ratchet up diplomatic and economic sanctions against Iran over the startling progress the country has made in achieving self-sufficiency in utilizing peaceful nuclear technology.
