On November 3, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A Reuters reporter asked questions. Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Iranian and Saudi national security officials to discuss the situation in the Middle East. Can the Chinese side allow Iranian and Saudi officials to sit at the same table and host a tripartite meeting between China and Iraq? If that doesn't work right now, does China have any plans to facilitate such a meeting? Mao Ning said that recently, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, met separately with Saudi and Iranian officials responsible for national security affairs in Beijing. “We have published news about the situation, which you can check. China is ready to continue to make positive efforts to promote dialogue and ease the situation.”
