Iran has always deemed China as a strategic partner and bilateral relations will improve following the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Zarif told the Chinese premier.

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a meeting Tuesday with Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang praised as “strategic” ties between the two influential Asian countries.

“Iran has always regarded China as a strategic partner, and bilateral relations will undoubtedly improve following the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA),” Zarif said.

He said Beijing has played a positive role in the nuclear negotiations between Iran and P5+1.

The Chinese premier, for his part, said the Vienna nuclear agreement would help resolve ongoing problems in the Middle East and across the world.
