On November 25, 2024, Special Envoy Zhai Jun of the Chinese Government on the Middle East Issue met with Iranian Ambassador to China Mohsen Bakhtiar. The two sides mainly had an exchange of views on the current regional situation.

Mohsen Bakhtiar said that the current fighting in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon is continuing, and the regional situation is becoming more complex and severe. The international community should work together to promote a ceasefire and an end to the fighting as soon as possible to prevent the conflict from spilling over into the region. Iran highly appreciates China's just position and efforts to promote regional peace and stability, and looks forward to strengthening communication and coordination with China on regional affairs.

Zhai Jun said that China is deeply concerned about the continued escalation of the regional situation. Military means cannot resolve the conflicts and differences between countries in the region. Dialogue and negotiation are the right way out. China supports the Arab and Islamic countries in strengthening unity and playing a greater role in cooling down the regional situation.
