Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on key stakeholders to play constructive roles in maintaining regional stability and security in the Middle East during his meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, in Beijing on Saturday.

Wang emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire and alleviation of suffering through finding political solutions and continued dialogue to "ensure order and eliminate chaos."

According to the foreign minister, China "urges the international community to respect the region's historical and cultural traditions, as well as the decisions made by its people," warning against attempts to impose external wills or interference using sanctions, pressure, or force.

Wang reiterated that the people of the Middle East are the primary decision-makers for the region, affirming Beijing's continued support for their efforts in development, conflict resolution through dialogue and consultation, and guaranteeing sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, as well as in resisting foreign interventions.

Regarding Iran, the Chinese foreign minister said that his country "seeks to resolve disagreements through diplomatic and political channels and to preserve the Iranian nuclear agreement."

He added that Beijing encourages all parties to play constructive roles in advancing dialogue and negotiations, expressing China's opposition to sanctions and pressure on Iran while affirming its support for Iran's legitimate rights and interests.

For his part, Araghchi praised China's support and contributions to advancing the Iranian nuclear agreement, stressing Tehran's interest in maintaining close relations with Beijing.

This comes after Araghchi said that new conditions surrounding the nuclear dilemma and sanctions-lifting discussions in 2025 require "more consultations" with China. Araghchi made the statements while meeting with the media upon his arrival in Beijing on Friday, at the request of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

"The main goal of this visit is to [facilitate] consultations on bilateral, regional, and international issues," he told reporters.

He noted that Iran has maintained close talks with China on all regional and international problems, stressing that the two nations have traditionally had strong relations and should continue to collaborate on various subjects.

"We are currently facing a sensitive situation," the senior Iranian official said, citing several regional and global developments.

Araghchi stated that Tehran and Beijing must participate in more talks to prepare for regional and international problems in 2025, particularly those involving the United Nations Security Council.

In an article published by China's official People's Daily newspaper on Friday, the Iranian foreign minister stated that his travel to China will mark a "new chapter" in strategic collaboration between the two nations and usher in a "golden" age for bilateral ties.
