[00:00:16]Both countries have a healthy relationship with Iran.

[00:00:21]The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will also be discussed to ensure that the challenge of the global oil supply is resolved. Moscow says Russia and China are not against any country, but are working for the cause of peace and universal prosperity.
