Islamabad, July 25, IRNA -- The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Pakistan has met with his Chinese counterpart to discuss bilateral cooperation, regional ties, including developments in Afghanistan.

Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini met with Chinese Ambassador to Islamabad Nong Rong here on Sunday.

Iranian ambassador in a tweet said: In this meeting, we discussed bilateral and trilateral cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran, China and Pakistan and the latest developments related to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Hosseini added Afghan peace process was reviewed and need for neighbors to play a role in helping to establish peace and stability in this country was emphasized during the meeting.
