China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Iran's Ali Bagheri Kani in Beijing on November 2, 2026, that dialogue is the way to resolve Middle East conflicts. Wang said all parties should focus on political solutions rather than resorting to arms again, according to Xinhua. Bagheri Kani is deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. The meeting follows China's stepped-up effort to help end tensions amid the US-Israeli war on Iran.
