Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, met with Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister, on Wednesday, September 16, during his visit to Beijing, emphasizing the expansion of relations between Tehran and Beijing within the framework of a comprehensive strategic partnership.

Araghchi attributed the current regional situation to the military attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran and expressed gratitude for China's stance in condemning the actions of these two countries.

He stated: "The Islamic Republic, while fully prepared to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity and to safeguard the security and national interests of Iran against aggressors, welcomes diplomatic solutions that ensure the rights of the Iranian people."

Araghchi also mentioned that the regional conditions have changed since the Iran war, and in the new regional order, which will be accompanied by dialogue and cooperation among regional countries, there is no place for the presence and intervention of foreign forces.

He referred to what he called the repeated violations of commitments by the United States, stating that the Islamic Republic seeks to restore calm to the region and establish friendly relations with its neighbors, and in this context, has begun dialogue with regional countries.
