Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for an early return to dialogue and negotiations over Gulf tensions during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi. According to the report, Wang said the relevant parties should resume talks as soon as possible and handle issues related to the Strait of Hormuz properly.

The discussion centered on reducing friction in a region that remains highly sensitive for security and shipping. By stressing negotiations and careful management of the Strait of Hormuz, China signaled support for a diplomatic approach rather than further escalation.

Iran, for its part, thanked China for its peace efforts. That response underscored Tehran’s recognition of Beijing’s role in encouraging political dialogue on Gulf-related issues.

The meeting reflects continued diplomatic engagement between China and Iran at a time when stability in the Gulf and the safe handling of Strait of Hormuz concerns remain closely watched. While no broader outcome was detailed in the available report, the message from both sides pointed toward de-escalation and renewed talks.
