In late March 2021, Iranian and Chinese governments signed a 25-year agreement to develop cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
The document was signed by the former Iranian foreign minister Muhammad Javad Zarif and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi after the two top diplomats held talks at the Foreign Ministry in Tehran following the announcement of Iran-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a joint statement during a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Tehran in 2016.
The cooperation roadmap consists of 20 articles, covering Tehran-Beijing ties in “Political,” “Executive Cooperation,” “Human and Cultural,” “Judiciary, Security and Defense,” and “Regional and International” domains, according to the statement released back then.
