Wang, for his part, praised what he described as Iran’s “responsible approach” and reaffirmed Beijing’s support for Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to the Iranian statement.
The Chinese foreign minister said Beijing opposes the use of force and continuation of the “illegal war,” warning that its consequences affect not only Iran but also the wider region and international community.
He also reiterated China’s support for diplomacy and dialogue as the only path toward resolving regional disputes.
The two sides additionally discussed bilateral economic and trade cooperation and agreed to continue high-level consultations between the two sides.
Araghchi’s visit came ahead of US President Donald Trump’s scheduled summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 14-15 amid tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which remains blocked.
The meeting marked Araghchi’s first in-person talks with Wang since the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28. The two sides had previously held several phone calls during the conflict.
