China's Wang Yi condemns Israeli strike on Iran as 'intolerable', advocates for political resolution
Wang Yi's Approach on Iran's Nuclear Issue
In a recent phone conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed China's intent to contribute positively to the resolution of the Iran nuclear crisis. Wang emphasized that diplomatic means are still viable and a peaceful settlement is achievable.
China maintains a firm belief that the Iranian nuclear issue should be tackled through talks and negotiations, with the goal of addressing the concerns of all parties involved[4][2]. Regarding regional conflicts, Wang's message to both Israel and Iran was clear: resolve your differences through dialogue and establish a blueprint for peaceful coexistence[2][1].
The Chinese Foreign Ministry and high-ranking diplomats have frequently urged both Iran and key stakeholders to avoid further conflicts, particularly in light of recent heightened tensions and Israeli attacks on Iran[2][1]. In a recent communication, Wang labeled Israeli military actions against Iran as unacceptable, reiterating that diplomatic solutions remain viable and underscoring the need to prevent any further escalation[2]. China has publically declared its readiness to actively participate in fostering dialogue and supporting a political and diplomatic settlement to the issue[4][2][1].
China's efforts in this process encompass maintaining open lines of communication with all pertinent parties, such as Iran, the U.S., the European Union, and regional players[4]. China advocates for the preservation of the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and the promotion of peace and stability in the Middle East[4]. China's stance is based on support for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and adherence to multilateralism and non-proliferation[3][4].
In essence, China advocates for dialogue, opposes military intervention, and actively collaborates with the international community to facilitate a lasting, diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis[2][4][1].
Diplomacy remains a key approach for China in addressing war-and-conflicts and regional politics, as demonstrated by Wang Yi's efforts to resolve the Iran nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations. China's general news regularly highlights their ongoing advocacy for diplomatic solutions to prevent further escalation and champion peace and stability.
