Beijing-Sana
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif affirmed that the Iranian people will not give in to US economic pressure and will continue with full force and steadfastness towards development and progress.
"During the past year, Iran has been subjected to the most severe embargo, but it has overtaken it thanks to its good relations with neighboring countries, Russia and China," Zarif was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA. American economic on them will be more powerful and sophisticated than the former.
Zarif pointed out that Iran did not come out of the nuclear deal but reduced its commitments as a result of the actions and non-compliance of some other parties to its commitments.
On the cooperation between his country and China, Zarif said, `` The Silk Road can create many opportunities for countries to develop economically, eradicate poverty, create infrastructure and then prosper, and as Iran is a corridor and bridge linking Europe with Central Asia and Afghanistan, it is an important axis for the development of this road and contributed effectively to its progress. ''
Zarif is currently on an Asian tour that will take him to China, Japan and Malaysia.
