Abstract

The establishment of the Islamic Revolution of Iran based on the construction of a new Islamic civilization has drawn meaningful prescriptions for Iran's foreign policy. If the policy makers pay attention to this issue, Iran's foreign policy will have a clear framework towards different countries of the world, especially the powers of the East and West. In this framework, the type of relations between the Islamic Republic and the world powers will also be different. On this basis, the view of an emerging power like China is not the same as compared to countries like America. Although this difference of view does not change the principles and goals of Iran's foreign policy, logically, benefiting from the many capacities of an emerging power such as China, which, unlike the United States, does not have a history of dominating Iran, is prioritized. An important issue that is important considering the implementation of the 25-year program of joint cooperation between Iran and China. The basic issue in this regard is that considering the predominance of cultural attitudes in the political thought of the founder of the Islamic Republic in the realization of the civilizational goals of the Islamic Revolution, what software priorities should Iran's foreign policy towards China have? It is clear that neglecting this matter can be threatening. With this concern, this research will try to explain the software requirements of the Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy in facing China, while rereading and explaining the civilization-building frameworks considered by the founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. In order to achieve this goal, an attempt has been made to make use of soft power components, in addition to explaining the cultural-civilization capacities of Islamic Iran in China, to prescribe the priorities of the civilizational foreign policy of the Islamic Republic
