China's Foreign Minister Urges Reopening of Strait of Hormuz in Meeting with Iranian Counterpart
Wang said China wants Iran and the United States to exercise restraint and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to restore safe shipping.
- On Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Beijing, urging all parties to "reopen the Strait of Hormuz at an early date."
- During Araqchi's one-day visit, Wang urged Tehran and Washington to "rebuild the negotiation mechanism based on the consensus reached so far" and return to the Islamabad memorandum.
- Wang stated the current Middle East security architecture is "inadequate and needs to be reformed and strengthened," while noting China wants to prevent tensions from spilling into Yemen and the Red Sea.
- As the primary buyer of Iranian oil, Beijing has consistently stressed the importance of safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining its policy toward Tehran remains consistent and stable.
- These diplomatic talks occurred one week before Chinese President Jinping and President Donald Trump meet in Washington, where Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the leaders will continue discussions on Iran.
