Xi Meets Pezeshkian Briefly at SCO Summit, Ignoring Tehran’s Nuclear Stance

Chinese President Xi Jinping held a brief, low-profile meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Kyrgyzstan. Beijing deliberately omitted coverage of the encounter from state media, signaling a cautious diplomatic stance ahead of Xi’s upcoming summit with US President Donald Trump. While the SCO bloc condemned military strikes on Iran and affirmed civilian nuclear rights, it avoided concrete support commitments. Analysts suggest Beijing is managing optics to preserve its relationship with Tehran without antagonizing Washington, particularly amid US pressure on China’s trade surplus and oil imports.
