Beijing \u2014 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday, 3 March,\nstressed that the use of violence is not the answer to the problems in\nIran. According to a Xinhua report, Wang said that restraint from the\nuse or threat of force in international relations is a fundamental\ninterest of all parties, including Israel.<\/p>\n
Wang, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC, said this\nduring a direct telephone conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister\nGideon Sa\u2019ar at Sa\u2019ar\u2019s request. After hearing Sa\u2019ar\u2019s explanation of\nIsrael\u2019s position on the current situation, Wang said China consistently\nadvocates resolving important international and regional issues through\ndialogue and consultation, and that all parties should respect the aims\nand principles of the UN Charter.<\/p>\n
For years, China has been committed to promoting a political\nsettlement of the Iranian nuclear issue, Wang said, adding that the\nlatest talks between Iran and the United States have shown clear\nprogress and also discussed Israel\u2019s security concerns. \u2018It is very\nregrettable that the process is now being disrupted by a military\nattack,\u2019 Wang said.<\/p>\n
China firmly opposes the military attack by Israel and the United\nStates against Iran and says that the use of force cannot truly resolve\nthe issue. Instead, Wang added, it would create new problems and serious\nrepercussions. He noted that the true value of military power lies not\non the battlefield but in preventing it, and that China calls for an\nimmediate halt to military operations to prevent the conflict from\nescalating further and getting out of control.<\/p>\n
Wang said China has consistently upheld a fair stance on Middle East\nissues and will continue to play a constructive role in pushing\nde-escalation. He also urged Israel to take concrete steps to ensure the\nsafety of Chinese nationals in areas around the conflict. Sa\u2019ar said\nIsrael attaches great importance to this and will safeguard the safety\nof Chinese personnel and institutions.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/china-violence-is-not-the-answer-to-irans-crisis-1772611792", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
