Beijing, May 28 (TNS): Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will reach china on a working visit next month to attend a regional summit, the country’s foreign ministry said on Monday.
Rouhani will pay a visit to China and attend the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation; the summit is scheduled to be held on the second weekend of June in China, the ministry said.
Four ex-Soviet Central Asian republics, Pakistan and India recently became a part of this bloc.
The 2015 agreement between Iran and 5 major powers lifted international sanctions on Tehran. In return, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities.
US President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the deal this month; European states have been struggling to make sure Iran gets enough economic benefits to persuade it to stay in the deal.
China has also strongly supported the deal and is one of its signatories.
