He made the remark in a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.

“However, Tehran has pursued to arrange talks between the deputies of top Iran and G5+1 negotiators but recent behavior of western side of the nuclear negotiations has not been encouraging.”

Ahmadinejad underscored that Iran is against nuclear weapons and praises China support for Tehran’s right for peaceful use of nuclear technology.

“West propaganda against Iran’s nuclear activities or China internal affairs has its roots in US hostility toward the two countries.”

“World order is changing deeply to a more just world; China can play a more important role in the new world order; current world order is in favor of some world powers and against the interest of most nations.”

“China-Iran relations are historical and cultural oriented; development of relations with Beijing in all fields is part of principles of Tehran’s foreign policy; Iran-China trade exchange stood at the range of 45 dlrs billion in the past two years but it should be increased to the volume of 200 billion dollars by the next 10 years based on latest agreements; Iran favors elimination of foreign currencies and and their substitution by the national ones or using a barter system,” he added.

President noted that Iran is ready for development of relations with China in the fields of energy, airspace and resolution of Afghanistan problems, adding that NATO aims to expand its wing to the East through Afghanistan and this is a threat for both Tehran and Beijing and the two countries’ cooperation can increase the two nations’ deterrence power.

It is important to know that although the relations between these two governments are relatively new, trade and diplomatic relations between the people and cultures of Iran and China have been existing since 200 BC.
