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.

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.
