For the first time since the start of the war, Iran's Foreign Minister meets with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing

For the first time since the start of the war in Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi.

China's state news agency Xinhua reported the meeting in Beijing but gave no details. Iranian state media also confirmed the meeting.

The Iran war is likely to have been a central topic of discussion. Tehran and Beijing are close economic partners, with China the largest buyer of Iranian oil. Beijing has been vocal in its criticism of US actions against Iran.

The meeting between the Iranian and Chinese foreign ministers came about a week before US President Donald Trump's planned visit to China. Washington has announced the trip, but Beijing has yet to confirm it. /CNA
