During a press briefing, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin
Jian noted that Saudi-Iran relations have been on a positive trajectory and
China appreciates this progress.
Lin Jian stated that Saudi Arabia and Iran have been
engaging in positive interactions at various levels, further solidifying their
reconciliation and playing a crucial role in fostering regional peace and
stability.
China remains committed to supporting both nations as they
advance together, enhancing mutual trust, and achieving enduring
good-neighborly relations and friendship, the spokesman said.
The remarks come after several high-ranking visits between
Iran and Saudi Arabia took place in the past month.
Iran and Saudi Arabia restored diplomatic ties in March of
2023 under a China-brokered deal. The two West Asian countries have agreed to
move towards establishing a security cooperation pact.
