FNA - Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani underlined the necessity for accelerated implementation of security agreements with China, calling for reinvigorated regional cooperation to block instrumental use of terrorism.

Regional cooperation will prevent the trans-regional states from using terrorism as a tool for imposing �foreign will� on the governments, Shamkhani said in a meeting with the visiting national security official of China Deng Jing Wei in Tehran on Thursday.

He also called for acceleration of implementation of agreements between Iranian and Chinese security bodies.

Shamkhani also referred to cooperation between Iran and China in the economic, military and political fields, saying the two also have mutual interests and the same viewpoints which have prepared the ground for fostering bilateral ties and countering international and regional challenges, including terrorism.

He also warned that imposing illegitimate sanctions against other countries and misusing the hegemonic system�s economic relations will pave the way for the return of colonialism.

The Chinese official, for his part, appreciated Iran�s effective role in fight against terrorism and extremism.

China believes that sustainable tranquility in the region is necessary to the return of peace and stability to Syria, the official said.

The Chinese official further stressed the importance of promoting bilateral and international relations to combat terrorism.

Being indifferent to serious, all-out and impartial fight against terrorism will lead to �uncontrollable� spread of this phenomenon, he said.

Talking of Beijing-Tehran ties, the Chinese official said that exchange of views during bilateral meetings will play a leading role in accelerating implementation of mutual agreements.

The Chinese official travelled to Tehran to attend the Regional Security Dialogue, the first meeting of security council heads of the region, held in Tehran on September 26 with participation of Iran, Russia, China, India and Afghanistan.
