Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has hailed “constructive” talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, adding that both sides have affirmed Iran’s right to protect its national sovereignty.

In a post on X, Tehran’s top diplomat says the country appreciates a four-point proposal from Beijing on “upholding and promoting regional peace and stability”.

“The Iranian side trusts the Chinese side and expects the Chinese side to continue playing a positive role in promoting peace and stopping war, and supports the establishment of a new postwar regional architecture that can coordinate development and security,” Araghchi adds.
