The meeting came on the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relationship between Iran and China.

The president also said a new chapter has been opened in Tehran’s relations with Beijing.

“Today, after the passage of 40 years a new horizon has been opened in relations between the two countries and this will bring about positive changes to the benefit of the two nations and other nations in the regions,” Ahmadinejad noted.
