Iran’s top security official has hailed the role China has played in the United Nations Security Council to support the oppressed people of Palestine.

Ali Akbar Ahmadian, who serves as Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), said in a meeting with visiting Head of the International Liaison Department of the Chinese Communist Party Liu Jianchao that Iran and China can join hands to form a united global front against the Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

“The Zionist regime’s war machine in Gaza has to be stopped through multifaceted international efforts,” said Ahmadian in the meeting.

He also emphasized the need for upgrading political, economic and trade relations between Iran and China based on a 25-year partnership agreement signed between the two countries, which sets out general strategies and guidelines for bilateral cooperation.

The Chinese official, for his part, said his country is ready to expand its cooperation with Iran in all fields based on the strategic partnership deal.

He described Iran as a connecting bridge between East and West of the world and said the country is a major component in China’s global transport project known as One Belt One Road.

He also appreciated Iran’s role in maintaining peace and stability in the Western Asia region and said that Beijing supports Iran’s policies to guarantee sustainable security in the region.

The senior Chinese diplomat said that the United States continues to play a negative role in many parts of the world by sticking to its interventionist policies, adding that Iran and China should cooperate to confront US unilateralism.
