July 4, 2026 — China foreign minister met Sweden’s foreign minister in Stockholm. Beijing said bilateral ties, which were strained in recent years, have warmed since the Swedish minister’s visit last year and signalled a push to improve mutual trust, expand pragmatic cooperation and focus on a positive agenda. China urged Sweden to continue upholding the One China principle to consolidate the political basis for the relationship.

Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli told media in Beijing during the World Peace Forum that Iran plans to levy service fees for Strait of Hormuz transit in line with international practice. He said transit had been unimpeded prior to the outbreak of hostilities involving the US, Israel and Iran; Tehran has not announced tariffs but intends fees to cover navigation safety, pilotage and environmental protection costs, consistent with other international waterways. Fazli added the strait's traffic is gradually returning to normal and the Iran‑Oman jointly managed channel is restoring order.
