Iran, China Hold Talks on Security, Digital Cooperation
Iran and China used meetings this month to deepen bilateral ties, with Chinese special envoy Zhai Jun discussing the Yemen crisis and regional security with Iranian officials and saying the Middle East’s spreading conflicts cannot be resolved by force. Both sides emphasized continued consultations and a political approach to regional disputes. Separately, Iran presented Chinese investors with 150 proposed projects across 11 sectors, valued at about $300 billion, while identifying major energy and infrastructure investment needs. The countries also discussed practical cooperation in digital technology, including AI, cybersecurity, data governance, regulation of generative AI, expert training and pilot projects.
