AFP, March 2: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday during a call with the Iranian foreign minister that Beijing supports Tehran in resisting attacks from the United States and Israel, "to defend its legitimate rights and interests."
Wang Yi told Iranian Foreign Minister Alagheli that China values the traditional friendship between China and Iran, supports Iran in safeguarding national sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and national dignity, and supports Iran in defending its legitimate rights and interests.
The report cited Wang Yi's words, saying that China urges the United States and Israel to immediately stop military actions, avoid further escalation of tensions, and prevent the conflict from spreading across the entire Middle East region.
Commentary: This statement by China is clear and just, and at a critical moment when the situation in the Middle East is rapidly deteriorating, it firmly supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and legitimate rights and interests. It clearly calls on the US and Israel to immediately cease hostilities. This not only reflects the traditional friendship and strategic trust between China and Iran, but also demonstrates China's responsibility as a major country to uphold international fairness and justice, oppose hegemony and bullying, and prevent the spread of war. It effectively counters unilateral military adventurism and the logic of power, standing on the side of international law and regional peace and stability.
