BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke by telephone with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Wednesday amid tensions with Riyadh’s regional rival Iran after Tehran announced it was scaling back some commitments under its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
China’s Foreign Ministry did not directly mention Iran in its statement on the call between Xi and Salman, instead concentrating on Xi’s comments on cementing bilateral ties. “China appreciates Saudi Arabia’s active efforts to promote China-Arab relations and the development of relations between China and Islamic countries,” a short statement paraphrased Xi as saying.
The 2015 accord was signed between Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and the United States, before President Donald Trump took office. Iran agreed to limits on its nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.
