Trend:

Tehran has called on China and Russia to adopt a common strategy against the US policies.

Ali Shamkhani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), raised the issue in a meeting with Chinese public security minister Guo Shengkun on April 26 on the sidelines of an international security conference in Russia’s Sochi.

"The US has put Russia, China and Iran in the list of threats to its national security and implements sanctions against the three countries. So, adopting a joint strategy to counter Washington’s comprehensive attempts at harming these countries is necessary,” Shamkhani said, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported.

Shamkhani further said the supporters of terrorists are attempting to move the remaining terrorists to Afghanistan.

He added that deployment of terrorist groups in Afghanistan will impose serious threats to the borders of Iran, China and Russia.

Shamkhani underlined the necessity of close cooperation between Iran, China, Russia, Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent the spread of terrorism in the region.

The Iranian official called for taking joint intelligence, security and operational measures to stop the process of moving and organizing the terrorist groups in Afghanistan.

Shamkhani also referred to willingness of senior Chinese and Iranian officials to expand the mutual ties, adding that joint efforts to remove some obstacles ahead of mutual cooperation, including banking and financial issues, must be a priority.
