In a post on his X account, Araqchi pointed to the results of his visit to China.
“The Iran-China strategic partnership is ironclad because it's underpinned by cultural & civilizational bonds and rooted in shared values & interests,” the Iranian foreign minister said.
“With expanding conflict & terrorism in our region -amid malign attempts at domineering on the global level- Iran and China are determined more than ever to uphold the rule of law and preserve stability,” he added.
“As our joint statement today in Beijing aptly underscores: The Middle East belongs to the people of Middle East...its future and destiny should be determined by its own people," Araqchi noted.
During his first official visit to a country outside the region as the foreign minister of Iran, Araqchi met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Saturday.
