Iranian President Hassan Rouhani held a press conference with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Saturday in Tehran and briefed the attending media on the topics discussed during the two premiers’ bilateral meeting earlier that day.
President Rouhani highlighted the importance of strengthening ties with China, saying “this visit happened in a historic point in time following the implementation of the nuclear agreement and the subsequent lift of anti-Iranian sanctions. I hope that we can sign the final memorandum of cooperation between the two countries today.”
The President maintained that the two sides had conferred on expanding cooperation on finance and banking credits required for capital investment, long-term contracts in the field of energy, as well as investment in railways, mining, industry, tourism and technology parks.
