Beijing, April 2 /Xin Hua/ — The root cause of the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is the illegal military operations of the USA and Israel against Iran, said on Thursday the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC Mao Ning.

She made such a statement at the latest departmental press conference, adding that only by achieving a ceasefire and the realization of peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region can security and the uninterrupted movement on international shipping routes be fundamentally ensured.

Mao Ning added that all parties must work together to de-escalate the situation and prevent the worsening impact of regional shocks on the global economy and energy security.
