Referring to China’s position in the global economy, Madanizadeh highlighted the two countries’ potential for cooperation in industrial investment, new technologies, clean energy, the digital economy, logistics and industrial projects, IRNA said. On Tuesday, China-based firms and business leaders were sanctioned by the US Treasury for procuring weapons and parts for Iran’s military. However, China remains one of Iran’s largest trading partners, and the Trump administration has faced scrutiny over how forcefully it would confront Beijing over its participation in Iran’s economy.
Madanizadeh thanked China for its support for Iran’s sovereignty and its humanitarian assistance during the recent war, and highlighted the importance of cooperation through BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and financial institutions. He said that the two countries are moving towards a new chapter of strategic partnership and implementation of the 25-year comprehensive cooperation plan, IRNA added. ![Image 5: A man arriving from Tehran walks at Shanghai Pudong international airport in Shanghai on September 24, 2026 [AFP]](https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/afp_6abd9c33b706-1790811187.jpg?w=770&resize=770%2C513&quality=80) A man arriving from Tehran walks at Shanghai Pudong international airport in Shanghai on September 24, 2026 [AFP] Share Iran pushes for stronger ties with China amid US sanctions on social media United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says that the world has lived under the nuclear shadow for more than eight decades and that future generations must not.
