Wang Yi, Director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in Beijing as fighting in the Middle East continues.
During the meeting, Wang said dialogue and negotiations offered the way forward as the conflict dragged on and its wider consequences spread across the region.
He urged all parties to act responsibly towards their people and future generations, find common ground and pursue a political solution through rational and pragmatic engagement rather than resorting to further military action.
China also expressed its readiness to continue supporting initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping to ease tensions in the Middle East and work with all parties towards restoring regional peace.
Beijing reaffirmed its support for Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty and security, adding that it was willing to work with Tehran to further strengthen bilateral relations.
