BEIJING — China supports Iran in holding nuclear talks with the United States but opposes resorting to force and “illegal” unilateral sanctions in resolving the issue, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi tells his Iranian counterpart.

Beijing is willing to deepen coordination and cooperation with Tehran on international and regional affairs, Wang tells Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi during talks in the Chinese capital, according to a ministry statement.
