"Accomplishing the objectives of comprehensive strategic partnership between Iran and China provides a model for the all-out expansion of relations based on mutual interests and respects," the Iranian president said.

Xi: China to open its door even wider to world in new era

Chinese President Xi Jinping, the newly-elected general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s Central Committee, has outlined his reform-oriented plans for the promotion of the vast Asian country, saying China will open its door wider to the rest of the world in the new era.

On Sunday, Xi, the 69 -year-old leader who took power in 2012, was named as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China.

China’s Communist Party concluded its week-long gathering at the National Congress in the capital Beijing by approving amendments to its charter and endorsing Xi’s “core” leadership.

The gathering of around 2,300 delegates wrapped up at the Great Hall of the People, with the Communist Party of China unanimously passing a resolution on changes and securing a historic third term as the country’s leader for another five years.

Having been unveiled as the ruling party’s general secretary on Sunday, Xi is expected to sail through to a third term as China's president, which is due to be announced during the government's annual legislative sessions in March.
