Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with his Iranian counterpart on June 14, saying Beijing would promote ties with Tehran no matter how the situation changes, less than one day after the United States blamed Iran for an attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
Xi made the comment during a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, reported Chinese state-run media Xinhua.
