basic norms of international relations and will aggravate regional tensions and
turbulence," Wang told Javad Zarif according to Chinese media, referring
to the killing in Iraq on Friday of top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
China & Iran relations
The two civilizations have had a history of cultural,
political, and economic exchanges along the Silk Road since at least 200 BC,
and possibly earlier. To this day, China and Iran have developed a friendly
economic and strategic partnership.
As of 2019, Iran has signed onto Xi Jinping's signature
One Belt One Road plan, and Iran is considered to be a key part of China's
geopolitical ambitions in central Asia and the Middle East, sometimes described
in terms of a new Great Game.
