UNITED NATIONS, June 20 (Xinhua) — China’s permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Friday called for international efforts to promote talks to ease tensions between Israel and Iran.
As Fu Tsung noted, the Israeli-Iranian military conflict has been going on for eight days now, and it is sad to note that it has resulted in a large number of civilian casualties and the destruction of facilities on both sides.
If the conflict continues to escalate, it will not only lead to increased losses for its participants, but will also cause serious damage to states throughout the region, the Chinese diplomat warned.
As Fu Cong said at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Israel’s actions violate international law and norms of international relations, threaten Iran’s sovereignty and security, and undermine peace and stability in the region. China unequivocally condemns such actions, the permanent representative said.
At this critical moment, the international community should continue to strengthen consensus and make every effort to advance negotiations to ease tensions, Fu Cong added. -0-
