BEIJING, July 2 (Reuters) - China's top lawmaker He Wei will attend the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
He serves as vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, the country's top legislature.
Khamenei was killed on the first day of the Israeli and American airstrikes on Iran on February 28. Iranian state media reported earlier this month that his funeral would begin in Tehran on July 4 and conclude with his burial in his hometown of Mashhad in northeastern Iran on July 9.
