Tehran and Beijing have agreed to join hands in the fight against corruption, terrorism, and money-laundering.

Iranian and Chinese officials in a meeting in Tehran Tuesday agreed to increase cooperation in several areas, including in the campaign against money laundering and extradition of financial offenders.

The agreement was reached between Head of Iran’s General Inspectorate Nasser Seraj and Chinese Deputy Prosecutor General Jiang Xian Chu.

“We are willing to increase our cooperation in the campaign against financial and political corruption, terrorism and money laundering,” Seraj said during the meeting.
