FM to visit China today
The two diplomats – who also met on the sidelines of the BRICS conference in Delhi last week –will hold talks on Wednesday, the ministry said, as Beijing seeks to mediate in Iran’s months-long war with the United States, AFP reported.
China is a top economic partner of Iran, buying much of its oil output, and also an important diplomatic backer.
The talks between their foreign ministers come just one week before an expected trip by Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington, where he will meet President Donald Trump.
The war in Iran will be a closely watched topic at that meeting, among other thorny issues ranging from trade to competition over artificial intelligence.
