Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

In response to a media question about US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's claim that China was an "unreliable global partner" during the Middle East crisis and whether such comments could affect US President Donald Trump's upcoming visit to China, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that China has repeatedly made clear its solemn position on the situation in Iran, and that the two sides are maintaining communication regarding President Trump's China visit.
