China's Xi sends condolences to Iran president on 'terrorist attack'

On January 3rd, 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolence to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani following a terrorist attack in Tehran. The attack targeted the Islamic Republic Guards Corps and resulted in the deaths of several individuals and injuries to others.

The Chinese government condemned the attack and expressed its deep sympathy for the victims and their families. In his message, Xi Jinping offered condolences to Rouhani and expressed China's commitment to continuing to support Iran in its fight against terrorism.

China has a long history of cooperation with Iran, particularly in the areas of energy and trade. The two countries have also been close allies in regional issues such as the Syrian civil war and the Yemeni conflict.

It is worth noting that China's condemnation of the attack and its expression of support for Iran may be seen as a strategic move to maintain good relations with Tehran, which is an important partner in China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI is a massive infrastructure project aimed at connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa through a network of roads, ports, and other transportation infrastructure. Iran is a key component of the BRI, as it provides access to the Persian Gulf and serves as a major transit hub for goods moving between Asia and Europe.
