BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 17. Iran and China can
benefit from the opportunities created by the memorandum of
understanding between Iran and the U.S. to develop their relations,
particularly in the energy and economic fields, Iran's Minister of
Foreign Affairs Seyed Abbas Araghchi said during a telephone
conversation today (June 17) with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang
Yi.
This is reflected in the statement of the Iranian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
According to him, relations between Iran and China are of
strategic importance. Iran expresses its gratitude to China for its
support during the negotiation process with the U.S. and for the
memorandum of understanding.
"There are historical experiences that have caused Iran's deep
distrust toward the U.S. The responsibility for the full
implementation of the provisions of the memorandum of understanding
achieved between the two sides, especially regarding ending the
conflict in all directions, rests with the U.S. party," he
noted.
During the telephone conversation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang
Yi also stressed the importance of the accurate and complete
implementation of the aforementioned memorandum of understanding.
He stated that China stands ready to cooperate in simplifying the
implementation of the memorandum, strengthening regional
cooperation, and helping to eliminate existing misunderstandings
among the countries of the region.

officially enter into force on June 19.
