China has said that Iran has every right to peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said this on Wednesday as he held talks with Iranian counterpart, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, in Beijing.
Yi appreciated Iran’s commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons and reiterated China’s principled position on the Iran situation.
He emphasised that Beijing has been actively promoting peace and encouraging dialogue since hostilities began.
The Chinese official called for an immediate end to fighting and warned against any resumption of conflict while emphasizing that it is especially important to remain committed to negotiations.
According to him, the situation in the Middle East is at a critical juncture between war and peace.
He declared that China supports Iran in safeguarding its national sovereignty and security and commended Tehran for seeking a political settlement through diplomatic means.
The foreign minister further stated that the international community shares concerns over restoring safe and normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, urging relevant parties to respond to those calls as soon as possible.
