Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi have called for the lifting of sanctions on Iran, as a three-day “fruitful” trip to China by the Iranian leader drew to a close, Al Jazeera reports.

“Both sides emphasised that lifting sanctions and ensuring Iran’s economic dividends are an important component of the agreement,” they said in the joint communique on Thursday, according to the news site. “All relevant sanctions should be fully abolished in a verifiable manner, promoting the agreement’s full and effective implementation,” the statement adds.

The two sides signed a number of bilateral cooperation documents in the fields of agriculture, trade, tourism, environmental protection, health, disaster relief, culture and sport, Al Jazeera adds.

President Xi also “gladly accepted” an invitation from his Iranian counterpart to visit Iran and would do so at his convenience, the news site quotes the joint statement, adding that Xi last visited Iran in 2016.
