UNITED NATIONS, June 14 (Xinhua) — China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong called on Israel to immediately stop its military adventurism in Iran at an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Friday.
China condemns Israel’s actions that violate Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, he said.
China opposes the escalation of tensions and the expansion of conflicts and is deeply concerned about the potentially serious consequences of Israeli operations, the diplomat stressed.
“A sharp escalation in the region is in no one’s interests. We call on Israel to immediately cease all military adventurism and avoid further escalation of tensions,” the Permanent Representative said.
Fu Cong said China calls on all parties concerned to abide by the UN Charter and international law, resolve disputes through political and diplomatic means, and jointly maintain regional peace and stability.
The Permanent Representative expressed concern about the potential negative impact of the current developments on diplomatic negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. China has always been committed to a peaceful settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations, and opposes the use of force, illegal unilateral sanctions and armed attacks on nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes, he stressed.
Iran’s right as a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to peaceful uses of nuclear energy must be fully respected, Fu Tsung noted.
The international community should work together to promote a ceasefire in Gaza, reduce regional tensions and effectively contain the spread of the conflict, the diplomat said.
Countries with significant influence over Israel must play a more constructive role, he said, adding that the Security Council must use all means provided by the UN Charter to ensure the implementation of relevant resolutions and play its proper role in maintaining regional peace and security. –0–
