China, Iran reaffirm commitment to peace

Amid growing instability and uncertainty in the world, China and Iran have reaffirmed their commitment to pragmatic cooperation and enhanced multilateral coordination to benefit the people of both countries while contributing to regional and global peace, stability and development.

When Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Saturday in Beijing, the two diplomats underscored the strength and resilience of bilateral ties and pledged to make concerted efforts to navigate regional and global challenges.

The two-day visit, which began on Friday, was the first for Araghchi since he took office in August. Araghchi was also the first official of the new Iranian government, which was established in July, to come to China.
