Tehran, YJC. Rouhani has asked his Chinese counterpart to take action against excessive demands by some countries.
Speaking
to the Chinese president over the telephone, Hassan Rouhani said "We expect China
as a great, responsible country in the international arena to act according to
its duty against excess from some countries.”
The
Iranian president added "There is no doubt that on the nuclear talks, countries
which have proven responsible on the international arena must appear more active.”
The
Chinese president in turn said "The positions countries adopt in these talks
must be based on mutual respect, equality, and peacefulness.”
Xi Jinping also maintained that Iran’s foreign relations have grown much more active since
the Rouhani administration.
Asserting that Iran’s foreign diplomatic measures have
soothed the international atmosphere, he said "It was for disagreements among
Western countries that we did not arrive at a conclusion. Iran takes highly
sophisticated steps and international rules are in keeping with Iran’s national
interests which shows the wisdom of the Iranian government.”
He further maintained that China will always use its
international influence to resolve the current problem.
