BEIJING, Aug 26 — The rejection of international law is on the rise, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said today, during a meeting in Beijing with the Chinese government’s top diplomat, State Councillor Wang Yi.

"Rejection of international law, not just lack of respect for international law, but, in fact, contempt for international law, is on the rise and we need to work together,” Zarif told Wang, in comments in front of reporters.

Zarif said he was in Beijing to brief the Chinese official on his recent meetings in France on the Iran nuclear deal. — Reuters
