Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will set off a three-day visit
to China on June 8 to discuss ways to improve mutual relations and
the latest regional developments, the country’s ambassador to China
said.
President Rouhani will pay a working visit to China to attend the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, Asghar Khaji told
the IRNA news agency on June 7.
The president is scheduled to hold meetings with his Chinese
counterpart Xi Jinping and other senior officials to discuss ties
as well as the latest developments around the 2015 nuclear deal
between Tehran and world powers, he added.
During his three-day visit, four basic agreements on combating
narcotics and organized crimes, increasing cooperation in the area
securities and bonds, and improving academic ties will be signed,
Khaji said.
The president is also planned to hold talks with his Russian
counterpart Vladimir Putin during his visit, the envoy said.
The summit is scheduled to be held in the northern Chinese city of
Qingdao.
The visit will take place as major powers are seeking to save
Iran’s nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA), after the United States pulled out.
In a speech from the White House on May 8, Trump accused Iran of
sponsoring terrorism and seeking nukes before announcing the US
withdrawal from the nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group
5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
