China’s President Xi Jinping gave Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian a brief, low profile audience at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit, according to CNBC.

The move reflects Beijing’s effort to manage optics ahead of a higher stakes summit between Xi and US President Donald Trump, as China looks to avoid appearing too closely aligned with Tehran, CNBC reported.
