Iran's Defense Minister visits China in first trip since war
SUMMARY
Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh is in China for a defense ministers' meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Qingdao.
This marks his first overseas trip since the onset of the war with Israel.
Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun met with Nasirzadeh and emphasized the need for cooperation to maintain global stability.
Iran joined the SCO in 2023. The bloc also includes members like Belarus, India, and Pakistan.
Nasirzadeh's visit follows a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran after 12 days of conflict.
While China condemned the US strike on Iranian nuclear sites, it has only provided rhetorical support to Iran.
