China Meets with Iran's Foreign Minister Ahead of Trump's Visit
China hosted Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for the first time since the U.S.-Israel war, just days before U.S. President Donald Trump's scheduled visit to Beijing. The meeting, led by China's top diplomat Wang Yi, is seen as a strategic move to align interests ahead of Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Analysts suggest the timing is deliberate, with China seeking stability in the Persian Gulf to protect trade and energy flows.
