Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Wednesday. State media reported that the meeting between the two diplomats placed the close ties between the strategic partners into focus.
The trip marks Araghchi's first visit to China since the beginning of the Iran war. It is also the diplomat's first visit since US and Israeli strikes sparked the most severe global oil supply shock in history.
The meeting took place one week before President Donald Trump is scheduled to arrive in the Chinese capital.
