China is also pursuing the policy of developing relations with Iran in all fields, Borujerdi said on Saturday. He made the comments in an interview with IRNA on the sidelines of his meeting with Iranian businessmen of the southern Bushehr Province. The meeting was held in the provincial capital Bushehr.
He said that the recent opening of the Chinese consulate general in Bandar Abbas, the capital city of the southern Hormozgan Province, was an effort in line with that Chinese policy.
On his meeting with the businessmen in Bushehr, the official told IRNA that they demand the establishment of a direct shipping line and flights between Iran and China, adding that the projects need to be assessed.
He also spoke about a plan on a sisterhood agreement between Bushehr province and “an important coastal province in China.”
The Iranian official did not name the Chinese province, but said that the agreement would pave the way for China’s financing of Iranian projects including the one to construct a railway between Busher and Iran’s southern city of Shiraz.
He also said that the agreement would help strengthen economic relations between the two countries.
