Rouhani underlined China's important position in the global area as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
Rouhani also added that two nations will benefit from boosting bilateral relations.
Chinese Minister, in his turn, said that Tehran and Beijing have long-standing relationship and can play an important role in today's world.
"China believes that a dialogue and negotiations is the only way to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, rather not sanctions and pressure," Wu said.

For the first time since the Islamic revolution, the inauguration ceremony was to be attended by senior representatives of different countries.
On June 14, 2013, Hassan Rouhani won the presidential elections in Iran, gathering over 50 percent of total votes.
