Russia's Lavrov Visits Beijing As China Steps Up Iran War Diplomacy
"Lavrov is expected to hold talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during his April 14-15 visit, which will cover the wars in Iran and Ukraine, as well as Beijing and Moscow's deepening ties."
"China's Foreign Ministry called the US blockade on vessels calling at Iranian ports 'dangerous and irresponsible' during an April 14 press conference."
"Xi hosted Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, on April 14, where he 'made proposals to maintain peace in the region.'"
"'Sovereignty is the basis of the survival of all countries, especially the vast number of developing countries and cannot be violated,' Xi said."
Sergei Lavrov's visit to Beijing aims to discuss the wars in Iran and Ukraine, alongside enhancing Sino-Russian relations. The talks will address regional issues and multilateral cooperation in organizations like BRICS and the G20. This visit follows failed US-Iran peace talks, leading to a US blockade on Iranian ports, which China criticized as dangerous. Xi Jinping is also seeking to increase China's diplomatic role in the Middle East, emphasizing the importance of sovereignty for developing nations.
