China sees Iran-Saudi Arabia relations improving: Wang Yi


 

Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, has said that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continue to take steps to improve relations, after the China-brokered deal signed in March.

The Chinese foreign minister said on Monday that the approach by Iran and Saudi Arabia leads to the formation of a "wave of reconciliation" in the Middle East region.

Wang Yi further said in a statement on Monday that China "appreciates the correct decision made by the Iranian side." He also reiterated China's support to Middle East countries.

The Chinese foreign minister also lauded Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for holding successful talks with the Iranian officials after the Saudi embassy in Tehran had officially reopened. 

Recently, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, visited Saudi Arabia. The Iranian foreign minister met Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. They held talks in Jeddah, a city in Saudi Arabia, on Friday. They reportedly discussed "future opportunities for cooperation." The Iranian minister traveled to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on Thursday. The Iranian minister also lauded the economic and security cooperation between the two countries.

 According to Wang Yi, the Iranian nuclear issue can only be "fundamentally resolved" if world powers and the Islamic Republic of Iran restore the integrity and effectively implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a deal on the Iranian nuclear program.

JCPOA or the Iran nuclear deal was signed between Iran and the various world leaders in 2015. It came into effect in 2016. However, the United States withdrew from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018. The move led to the collapse of the deal.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
