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.
