China and the US – Iran’s key partner and its chief adversary – found firmer common ground on Tehran at the Washington summit last month, and further head-of-state diplomacy could work in Iran’s favour, according to analysts.
There was no direct reference to Tehran in Beijing’s statement after the May summit, but following the September meeting China was more specific, saying it and the US agreed that Iran must uphold its commitment against developing nuclear weapons.
In an eight-point consensus, the two powers also agreed that no country or organisation should impose tolls on international waterways, according to the Chinese foreign ministry.
