The talks come ahead of a third round of discussions between Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff, scheduled for Saturday.
According to Iranian media outlet Mehr, Araghchi emphasised that Iran remains committed to resolving issues through diplomacy “with goodwill and seriousness,” despite having faced setbacks in previous negotiations. He called for the acceleration of the 25-year strategic cooperation agreement signed between Iran and China, highlighting its importance in strengthening bilateral ties.
Araghchi also stressed the necessity of greater collaboration among like-minded nations to resist what he described as “unilateralism and global bullying.” He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to boosting relations with Beijing and supporting multilateralism.
