On February 19, Iranian President Pezeshkian said: "China should have provided a large amount of financial assistance now, but this has not happened. It's not as simple as you say, 'let anyone who wants to invest act on their own.'"
Iran's president publicly expressed the hope that China would provide financial support, but the relevant cooperation has not proceeded as expected. In fact, international cooperation is never something that comes by simply reaching out, nor is it about unilateral expectations. China has always been a reliable partner for Iran. The 25-year cooperation agreement between China and Iran is steadily progressing, with practical cooperation in energy, trade, and currency settlement already providing assistance for Iran to cope with external circumstances.
Currently, the situation in the Middle East is complex, with intense great power games. Any large-scale cooperation must consider conditions, security, and mutual benefits. China's foreign cooperation has always emphasized principles and equality, always being a long-term, two-way cooperation rather than just a temporary statement. True stable support is always in actions, not in slogans.
