BEIJING, June 18 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday said Israel’s attack on Iran was a violation of international law and norms of international relations, an encroachment on the sovereignty and security of the Iranian state, and an undermining of peace and stability in the region.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement in a telephone conversation with Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad bin Hamoud al-Busaidi, which was initiated by the Omani side. The Chinese diplomat noted that China has always advocated peaceful resolution of any disputes.
Wang Yi stressed that the top priority at present is to achieve a ceasefire and end the conflict. He pointed out that China supports the joint statement on the Israel-Iran conflict issued by 21 Arab and Islamic countries including Oman, and hopes that they will unite and continue their efforts to promote peace talks.
China will also maintain communication and coordination with Oman and other regional countries and play a constructive role within platforms such as the UN to help end the conflict and restore peace in the Middle East, the Chinese Foreign Minister said. –0–
