China and Iran: Partners in Reforming the Global Governance System

Recently, China released a white paper titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions," which was comprehensively presented by Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a press conference in Tehran. Observing the steady and positive development of China-Iran relations in recent years, the document's principles and proposals on reforming global governance are seen as deeply aligned with Iran’s longstanding cultural values, foreign policy goals, and the aspirations of its people. This alignment underscores the potential for China and Iran to collaborate closely on reshaping the international system toward greater justice and equity. The white paper’s core themes, introduced across four key dimensions, offer a foundation for the two nations to explore expansive prospects for partnership and mutual advancement in global governance, signaling their shared commitment to a more balanced and inclusive international order.

TEHRAN- Recently, China published a white paper titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions," which Foreign Minister Wang Yi thoroughly introduced at a press conference. Having personally witnessed the healthy and stable growth of China-Iran relations in recent years, I deeply feel that China’s principles and proposals on global governance resonate strongly with Iran’s long-standing cultural traditions, foreign policy orientation, and the aspirations of its people. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the core essence of the white paper to our Iranian friends from four dimensions and jointly explore the broad prospects for China and Iran to advance hand in hand.
