Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on his way to a diplomatic visit to Beijing
Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, is expected to arrive today, Tuesday, for an official visit to the Chinese capital, Beijing. The visit is defined as part of Tehran's round of diplomatic consultations with major countries in the world.
According to reports by the state news agency IRNA and the channel Akharin Khabar, Araghchi will hold working meetings with his Chinese counterpart with the goal of discussing "bilateral relations and regional and international developments." Fars, a news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, confirmed that the minister is expected to specifically meet with the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi.
The reports of the trip appeared in a variety of Iranian channels, ranging from current affairs channels such as Akhbar-e Fouri and Hami-yan-e Pezeshkian, which present the visit as a routine diplomatic step to strengthen ties with Beijing. Conversely, entities with a critical or foreign orientation, such as Al Arabiya Farsi and Payam-e Iran, noted the trip while defining the regime as "radical" or as one acting to promote the interests of the Iranian regime in its international isolation.
The visit comes at a time when Iran is seeking political and economic support from China, and it is presented by official media as part of an ongoing effort of Iranian diplomacy to manage crises with global players.
