MEHR: Iran, China, and Saudi Arabia have jointly demanded urgent action to end Israel’s atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip and provide sustainable relief to the Palestinians.

China’s Deputy Foreign Minister Deng Li hosted Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani of Iran and Saudi Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Waleed bin Abdulkarim El-Khereiji in Beijing on Friday for the first time within the framework of the joint committee of the three countries.

In a statement, the trio expressed opposition to the forced displacement of the Palestinians, and underscored that any future arrangement about Palestine must embody the will of its people and support their right to establish their state and self-determination.

The diplomats also voiced concern about the current critical circumstances in Gaza.

The three officials agreed on the next meeting to be held in Saudi Arabia in June.

Also in the meeting, the diplomats discussed the progress in relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, including the reopening of the respective embassies in Riyadh and Tehran.
