00:00An Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing to discuss bilateral regional and international
00:07issues.
00:08Araqchi arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for his second visit to the Chinese capital since the U.S.-Israel war on
00:14Iran began at the end of February ahead of a planned meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese
00:20President Xi Jinping.
00:22The meeting highlighted the role China has played during the war, framing itself as a neutral party that wants an
00:29end to the conflict.
00:30In this sense, the Chinese diplomat encouraged Iran and the United States to stay rational and exercise restraint, return to
00:37the Islamabad memorandum of understanding at an early date, rebuild negotiation mechanisms on the basis of the consensus reached so
00:44far, and conduct substantive consultations on issues of respective concern.
