Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Monday that Beijing will send Jai Jun, its special envoy to the Middle East, to visit Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia during the period between early and mid-November.
Mao said during a daily press conference that Liu Xianfa, China's special representative for African affairs, would visit Ethiopia, Djibouti and Egypt at the same time.
She explained that these movements come as part of a series of visits made by Chinese diplomats with the aim of promoting peace and dialogue and working to reduce tensions in those areas.
