Initially, the President of the Supreme National Defence University provided explanations regarding the regional conditions and the signs of the decline of the West, as well as the occupying Quds regime. He added that since the emergence of this regime on the international stage as a country, instability and insecurity had engulfed the entire region. However, with the birth of Hezbollah and the Resistance Axis, the trend of strengthening this regime has been reversed, and this trend is now declining and deteriorating.

Dr. Ahmadi Moghaddam also mentioned the projects that China is pursuing in the region, and he advised and reminded the Chinese delegation, including its President, that the Islamic Republic of Iran is at the center of the West Asian region.

The President of the Supreme National Defence University also referred to the Islamic Republic of Iran's policy of neighbourliness, and the tensions that arose during the imposed war with the Iraqi Baath regime, which led to the eruption of the 8-year war. He highlighted the current trajectory of this policy, adding that our country currently does not have any challenges or tensions with any of its neighbours, and it consistently pursues a policy of strengthening neighbourly relations.

He further stated that Iran, Russia, and China, as three important and influential countries in the region, can establish constructive and non-competitive relations with one another. He added that the Americans are trying to disrupt this relationship, and therefore, the need to strengthen these ties among the three countries is felt more than ever. During the continuation of this meeting, the head of the visiting Chinese delegation expressed great satisfaction with the opportunity created for this delegation to visit the Supreme National Defence University, and considered this opportunity very valuable.
