Re <<Unclear>> Some nations work to divide Other civilizations toil to unite The two different approaches result in different outcomes Agnostic but the news flowing On the one hand Otoh, results tells, if true then presumably different than not-true Agnostic, and wait to see what happens over the coming 20 years presstv.ir Iran, Saudi Arabia agree to resume diplomatic relations Friday, 10 March 2023 11:53 AM [ Last Update: Friday, 10 March 2023 12:31 PM ] Iran and Saudi Arabia have reached an agreement in the Chinese capital of Beijing to restore their diplomatic relations and re-open embassies and missions, seven years after they were broken off over several issues. The agreement was struck on Friday after several days of intensive negotiations between Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani and his Saudi counterpart in Beijing. The restoration of ties was officially announced in a joint statement by Iran, Saudi Arabia and China on Friday. The statement was inked by Shakhani, Musaid Al Aiban, Saudi Arabia’s national security adviser, and Wang Yi, the director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of the Chinese Communist Party. Following talks between Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing in February, Shamkhani held intensive talks with his Saudi counterpart in Beijing since Monday to find a final solution to the issues between Tehran and Riyadh. Speaking after signing the agreement, Shamkhani said the negotiations between the two countries were “frank, transparent, comprehensive.” “Clearing up the misunderstandings and looking to the future in Tehran-Riyadh relations will definitely lead to the development of regional stability and security and the increase of cooperation between the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Islamic world to manage the existing challenges,” he said. Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with Iran in January 2016 after Iranian protesters, enraged by the execution of prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr by the Saudi government, stormed its embassy in Tehran.

setting up by China China China CPC to participate fully in, again, reconstruction getting to be the case that 'looking for business? go where the Russians and Americans got done with, everywhere' but I do wonder about Team Blinken's advice The White House said Thursday that talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Chinese leader Xi Jinping would be a "good thing," but warned Beijing against taking a "one-sided" view of the conflict. ... if one-sided view is un-good, should that advice not be operative for all engaged? Just saying ... or something lost in the English-English translation In any case the commentaries section is telling quite a bit (click on link and scroll way down) zerohedge.com China Urges Russia, Ukraine To Relaunch Peace Talks 'As Soon As Possible' China's foreign minister has issued a call for Russia and Ukraine to restart peace talks "as soon as possible" as Beijing fears the conflict "could escalate and get out of control." Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Thursday told his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba that he "hopes that all parties will keep calm, exercise restraint, resume peace talks as soon as possible and return to the track of political settlement." [url=][/url] Importantly he emphasized that "China hopes that Ukraine and Russia retain hope for dialogue and negotiation." The timetable is as yet unclear, but Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to travel to Russia soon to meet with Vladmir Putin, which Reuters days ago said could come as soon as next week. Xi has also indicated he plans to speak by phone with Ukraine's Zelensky for the first time since the war broke out, and following last month's unveiling of Beijing's 12-point peace plan. Interestingly, while the Biden administration has questioned China's motives and the sincerity of its peace plan efforts, on Thursday the White House appeared to soften to the idea of China playing a mediating role, per the AFP/Moscow Times: The White House said Thursday that talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Chinese leader Xi Jinping would be a "good thing," but warned Beijing against taking a "one-sided" view of the conflict. "We think it would be a very good thing if the two of them talk," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters when asked about a Wall Street Journal report that the Ukrainian leader is set to talk with Xi for the first time since Chinese ally Russia invaded. "We support and have supported" contact, Kirby said, while still underscoring that China has been helping Russian aggression, at least on a political level. SC & FM Qin Gang just had a phone conversation with Ukrainian FM Dmytro Kuleba. Kuleba said China is not only an important cooperation partner of Ukraine, but also an indispensable key major country in international affairs. — Hua Chunying 华春莹 (@SpokespersonCHN) March 16, 2023 All of this comes after weeks of US warning China not to send lethal aid to Russia. Biden officials have admitted there's no evidence this has already been done, but say they have intelligence showing Beijing is mulling it.
