Beijing: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, currently on a visit to China, met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday and stressed that Tehran would only accept a “fair and comprehensive” agreement to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia. According to Iran’s ISNA news agency, Araghchi said Iran was seeking a complete and balanced resolution to the crisis while defending its legitimate interests. “We will only accept a fair and comprehensive agreement,” he said during the meeting. Araghchi also praised China’s position on the conflict, particularly Beijing’s criticism of the actions of the United States and Israel. Describing China as a close friend of Iran, he said bilateral cooperation would grow stronger under the current circumstances. “The war that has been launched against us is a blatant act of aggression and a clear violation of international law. We will do our utmost to protect our legitimate rights and interests in the negotiations,” Araghchi said. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, meanwhile, stressed the urgent need for a complete ceasefire in West Asia. According to ISNA, Wang said China was prepared to continue efforts aimed at reducing tensions in the region.
