Wang Yi on the Iran Situation: Cease Military Actions, Avoid Escalation and Spillover

Odaily News: Wang Yi stated at the foreign policy-themed press conference of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress that the situation in Iran is currently a focal point of the international landscape. China maintains an objective and impartial stance and has repeatedly clarified its principled position, which can be summarized in one sentence: ceasefire and cessation of hostilities. Faced with the Middle East engulfed in conflict, this is a war that should never have occurred and one that benefits no party. China is willing to once again call for an immediate halt to military actions, preventing the situation from escalating in turn and avoiding the spillover and spread of the conflict.
