Iran Press/ Asia: Mohammad Keshavarzadeh noted that he had lodged Iran's complaint to the Chinese side regarding the anti-Iranian claims in the joint statement of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and China.
"In the meeting with the high-ranking Chinese officials, in addition to presenting an official complaint, I demanded that the Chinese foreign ministry pay attention to the sensitivities in the region. By reemphasizing the respect for Iran's territorial integrity, the Chinese side considered the relations between the two countries to be strategic and pointed out that the 25-year partnership plan in the West Asia region, which was concluded only with Iran symbolizes that," the tweet reads.
The joint PGCC and China statement, which had been issued during President Xi's visit to Saudi Arabia, instigated criticism in Iran.
