BEIJING: China upholds Iran in protecting its "sway, security and public respect", Chinese unfamiliar pastor Wang Yi told Iran's acting unfamiliar priest in a call on Sunday, as per an assertion by China's unfamiliar service.
In the call, Wang continued Beijing's censure of the death of Hamas boss Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31, saying the strike had disregarded Iran's sway and compromised territorial security.
Wang told Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's Acting Unfamiliar Clergyman, that the killing of Haniyeh had "straightforwardly subverted the Gaza truce discussion process and sabotaged provincial harmony and strength," China's unfamiliar service said.
"China upholds Iran in protecting its power, security and public poise as per the law, and in its endeavors to keep up with provincial harmony and solidness, and stands prepared to keep up with close communication with Iran," Wang was cited as saying.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday designated Abbas Araqchi as the country's unfamiliar clergyman. Araqchi had been Iran's central arbitrator in atomic discussions from 2013 to 2021.
