Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to visit China today as part of ongoing diplomatic discussions between Tehran and Beijing, Iran’s semi-official news agency Mehr reported on Tuesday.
While in Beijing, Aragchi will hold discussions with his Chinese counterpart regarding bilateral relations and both regional and international events, Mehr stated.
Aragchi’s trip to China will take place before Donald Trump’s. The president of the United States is set to hold a two-day summit with China’s leader Xi Jinping beginning May 14. Trump originally intended to go to Beijing in late March, but delayed the journey because of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran.
