Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi engaged in a strategic dialogue with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi during a Saturday phone call, underscoring Beijing's commitment to strengthening regional partnerships. The discussion focused on enhancing bilateral cooperation and addressing pressing global challenges.
Wang, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized China's support for safeguarding Iran's legitimate rights in international affairs. The ministers exchanged views on implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and promoting stability in the Middle East.
The conversation highlighted potential collaboration in energy infrastructure and digital economy initiatives under China's Belt and Road framework. Analysts suggest this high-level exchange could signal renewed momentum for multilateral diplomacy ahead of key United Nations meetings.
Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to non-interference principles and mutual respect in international relations. The dialogue comes as Asian markets show increased interest in China-Iran trade corridors, particularly in renewable energy and technology sectors.
