Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, Iran’s ambassador to China, says Tehran has shown its readiness to support President Xi’s four-point proposal for peace in the Middle East, Al Jazeera reports.

Iran’s support for the Chinese plan, Fazli wrote, is “aimed at establishing lasting security and shared development in the Persian Gulf region, an issue that was also emphasized during the meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries”.

Earlier, in a meeting with UAE President Zayed Al Nahyan in Beijing, President Xi had proposed a four-point plan for upholding and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
