On Nov. 3, China’s foreign ministry said it is willing to continue active
efforts to promote dialogue and ease tensions in the Middle East. The comment
followed separate Beijing meetings in which Wang Yi, a CCP Politburo member and
director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, met with
Iranian and Saudi national security officials; China said it has released
details of those meetings and did not confirm plans to convene a trilateral
China‑Iran‑Saudi meeting.
