The special envoy of the Chinese government for Middle East affairs met and talked with Ali Bagri Keni, deputy secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, and Majed Tahtaravanchi, deputy foreign minister of Iran, in Tehran.
Zhai Jun's visit to Tehran took place a week after Mr. Bagri Kenny's visit to Beijing and his meeting with Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister.
The visit of the Sultan of Oman to China at the same time as the visit of Mr. Bagri Kenny, increased speculation about China's mediation between America and Iran.
The purpose of these meetings is to discuss relations between China and Iran as well as the current situation in the Middle East.
According to the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Jai Jun in Tehran, who emphasizes the "deep and solid" traditional friendship between Iran and China, said: "Currently, the war and conflicts in the Middle East region have been prolonged and its scope has expanded to other regions as well." He added that "China believes that the use of force cannot solve problems and that the sovereignty and security of all countries must be respected."
Jai John goes to Oman and Saudi Arabia in the continuation of his trip to the region.
