Iran Press/Iran News: In response to a question about the draft plan for 25-year cooperation between Iran and China, which was recently approved by the cabinet and Foreign Minister Zarif was tasked with following it up, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said: "This is a new issue. During the Chinese president's visit to Iran, it was agreed that cooperation between the two countries is comprehensive and strategic, and a document was signed." 

"One of the clauses of the document stated that the two countries should have a comprehensive strategic document for their cooperation in all fields. During Zarif's visit to China last year, the draft of the document was notified to the Chinese authorities, and the review was carried out several times, and recently the draft was approved inside the country," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said. 

Foreign Ministry to clarify all aspects of the cooperation plan 

He added: "We still want clarification of all aspects of this issue. I urge the Romanian government and relevant authorities to inform us as soon as possible."

Mousavi added: I reject all speculations in this regard. None of the facts mentioned in the media and by individuals are true. Based on the strategic view, we are trying to define the long-term relationship with friendly and close countries, and we are ready to sign such documents with other countries that have friendly and good relations with us based on respect and mutual interests, and we are negotiating with some.

Mousavi about the use of the trigger mechanism by the US said: "Two or three special measures have been planned that will be decided according to the circumstances. I think there would be no need to restore these measures, and I hope that there is so much wisdom that the US not take steps in this regard. US action will not succeed at this point.

So far, we have not received anything just the media reports.
