Could China Become the Middle East’s New Peace Broker?
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has called for China to take a stronger role in resolving tensions in the Middle East, praising Beijing’s \"credibility and goodwill\" during a recent interview with China Media Group. 🎙️
Araghchi highlighted China’s growing influence as a neutral mediator, particularly its efforts to ease tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran—two regional rivals. 🔥❄️ \"China’s balanced approach can bring lasting stability,\" he said, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in the conflict-prone region.
The remarks come as global powers increasingly look to Beijing to leverage its economic and diplomatic ties in the Middle East. With youth-led movements demanding peace and development worldwide, Araghchi’s appeal aligns with calls for fresh strategies to tackle decades-old disputes. 🌍✨
