BEIJING: China has urgently called for the immediate cessation of military operations in Iran, underscoring its commitment to playing a constructive role in the resolution of the ongoing conflict.
A statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry affirmed that China’s position is unequivocal: military actions targeting Iran must be halted without delay.
The spokesperson further emphasized that China will continue to engage in constructive efforts, which include advocating for justice in the United Nations Security Council, working towards lasting peace, and making active efforts to bring an end to the ongoing hostilities.
The statement also expressed serious concerns over the potential for the conflict to spread, destabilizing neighboring countries and affecting regional security. It was pointed out that the indiscriminate use of military force is unacceptable and must not be allowed to escalate further.
Furthermore, China reiterated its support for Iran’s legitimate right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The spokesperson made it clear that the Iranian nuclear issue should be addressed through political and diplomatic channels, rather than military confrontation.
China’s appeal for de-escalation and its focus on diplomacy serve as a stark reminder of the importance of international cooperation in securing regional stability and preventing further escalation of the conflict.
