Belgium, Australia’s Top Diplomats Plan China Visits
The visits by Belgium’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot, along with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, are being arranged following an invitation extended by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Prevot is expected to travel to China from April 27 through May 1.
In another announcement, the ministry indicated that Wong’s visit is planned for April 28 to April 30.
These diplomatic engagements in Beijing take place while a ceasefire between Washington and Tehran remains in effect, though no formal agreement has yet been reached to officially conclude the conflict.
The confrontation, launched by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28, has caused difficulties for Asian countries attempting to secure oil imports from the Middle East, as both Tehran and Washington have restricted access to the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route responsible for transporting roughly 20% of the world’s energy resources.
