Tehran (IP)- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed the importance of respecting the "One China" policy condemning any foreign interference in China's internal affairs and undermining the country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Iran Press/Iran news: Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said that no interference in the affairs of other countries, maintaining territorial integrity, and respecting the national sovereignty of the countries of the world are clear and unchangeable principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy.

Iran's top diplomat reiterated that Iran calls for the implementation of the law and the maintenance of order for the stability, prosperity, and security of the people of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was under British rule from 1842 to 1997 but joined China in 1997 after the end of the previous treaty with Britain.

In recent months, the United States has stepped up its efforts to get the region recognized by other countries.

The United States is trying to fight against the 'One China' policy through political and military support for the local government of Taiwan.

China considers Taiwan, which seceded from the country in 1949 at the end of the civil war, to be part of its territory under the "Principle One of China" law.
