China’s special envoy to the Middle East, Zhai Jun, held talks with Ali Bagheri Kani, Deputy Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in Tehran on Monday. During the meeting, Zhai underscored Beijing’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and emphasized that the escalating regional conflicts cannot be resolved through military force.
The visit forms part of a broader diplomatic tour by Zhai, who is also scheduled to travel to Oman and Saudi Arabia later this month as China continues to engage key regional players amid heightened tensions.
