Reference News Network, June 25 report, according to the website of Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, on June 24, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Foreign Minister, called Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif, emphasizing that China supports Iran's efforts to safeguard its national sovereignty and security, and achieve a real ceasefire on this basis.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on its official website, Wang Yi said, after the US attacked Iran, China immediately voiced condemnation. The military strike on nuclear facilities under the IAEA safeguards seriously violates the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, and may cause nuclear leaks or even nuclear disasters, and the international community should all oppose it.

Wang Yi stated that China supports Iran's efforts to safeguard its national sovereignty and security, and achieve a real ceasefire on this basis, allowing people to resume normal life and promoting the rapid cooling of the Middle East situation. China also commends the Islamic Cooperation Organization for issuing a unified voice for ceasefire and peace, and is willing to promote the Security Council to play its due role and bear the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. It thanks the Iranian government for the support provided in the evacuation of Chinese citizens in Iran, and hopes Iran will continue to protect the safety of Chinese institutions, personnel, and embassies and consulates.

According to the Chinese news release, Zarif reported the latest situation in the region, emphasizing that Israel and the US' dangerous actions of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities seriously violate international law, and Iran has no choice but to retaliate. A ceasefire was just reached between Iran and Israel, but the situation remains unstable. Only if Israel stops its aggression can real negotiations be opened. The foreign ministers' meeting of the Islamic Cooperation Organization has condemned the US-Israel action, and expects the Security Council to play a role in this. It thanks China for understanding and supporting Iran's legitimate position, and hopes to maintain close communication with China, and expects China to play a greater role in easing the situation.
