Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he is open to any support, including from China, to help resolve the conflict in the Middle East, AFP reports.

“We appreciate any country who has the ability to help, particularly China,” he told reporters in the Indian capital, where he attended a meeting of the BRICS bloc of nations.

“We have very good relations with China, we are strategic partners to each other, and we know that (the) Chinese have a good intention, so anything that can be done by them to help diplomacy would be welcomed by the Islamic republic.”
