Wang Yi, China's foreign minister, in a meeting with Iraqi Abbas, his Iranian counterpart, said that Beijing is ready to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with Iran, and at the same time emphasized that China does not want to "see the spread of regional tensions to Yemen and the Red Sea."

According to what the Chinese Foreign Ministry released about this meeting on Wednesday, September 25, Wang Yi also said: "We encourage Iran and the United States to maintain rationality and restraint."

According to China's foreign minister, this country continues to support the dialogue between Iran and the countries of the Persian Gulf "on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and security".

China is one of Iran's main commercial and political partners.

American media previously reported that Chinese entities provided Tehran with images and satellite information of a base where American forces are stationed in Jordan before Iran's ground attack on this base. Beijing rejected this report. The meeting between Abbas Iraqichi and Wang Yi took place a week before Chinese President Xi Jinping's possible visit to Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump.
