Will the Iran crisis feature in foreign policy talks at China’s ‘two sessions’?

The “two sessions”, the annual meetings of China’s top legislature and political advisory body, get under way this week, with Beijing expected to lay out its economic targets and strategic priorities.

The sessions are expected to focus on the economy and innovation but it is also a chance for outsiders to get fresh ideas of China’s thoughts on its foreign policy, particularly at Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s press conference.

China has condemned the strikes as a violation of international law and called for parties to halt military operations. Wang said earlier that the “blatant killing ⁠of a sovereign leader” and the incitement of regime change were “unacceptable”.
