China’s Special Envoy for the Middle East, Zhai Jun, said during talks with Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, that Beijing looks forward to strengthening its relations with Tehran.
China’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Monday that Zhai had met with Kani in Iran.
The Chinese envoy is visiting Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Iran this month as part of Beijing’s intensified efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East.
Zhai said that efforts should “focus on political solutions in a rational and pragmatic spirit, and work to restore stability and development in the region as soon as possible.”
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had previously called on all parties to the conflict in the Middle East to focus on political solutions rather than resorting to arms again, during separate meetings with Saudi and Iranian national security officials.
Earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping affirmed his country’s readiness to work with African nations to address the repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East.
