Beijing, April 16 /Xin Hua/ — The Foreign Minister of the PRC, Wang Yi, stated on Thursday that currently the primary task is to facilitate the return of the US and Iran to the negotiating table and to seek a way for the political settlement of the conflict.
A Chinese diplomat made such a statement during a meeting in Beijing with the Vice Premier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and International Cooperation of Italy Antonio Tajani. During the conversation, the parties exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East.
As pointed out by Van Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, the war between the USA and Israel against Iran should not have started, and its prolongation has already had a serious impact both on international energy security and on the security of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
The head of the MID of China noted that China consistently advocates for the political settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultations and rejects the use of force.
According to Van I, the Chinese side consistently takes an objective and unbiased position and makes active efforts to establish peace and end the war. He added that China supports Pakistan’s mediation efforts and intends to maintain communication with all parties, continuing to play a constructive role. –0–
