China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, pointed out that the United States and Israel have brazenly launched military strikes on Iranian territory, leading to a sudden escalation of the regional situation. China is deeply concerned about this. He also stated that China emphasizes that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran and other countries in the region must be respected.
According to the official website of China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations on Saturday (February 28), Fu Cong spoke at the UN Security Council’s emergency open meeting on the Middle East situation, stating that the United States and Israel have brazenly launched military strikes on Iranian territory, causing a sudden escalation in the regional situation. China is deeply concerned about this. China has always advocated that all parties must abide by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, and opposes and condemns the use or threat of use of force in international relations.
Fu Cong said that China emphasizes that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran and other countries in the region must be respected.
Fu Cong stated that China is deeply saddened by the large number of civilian casualties caused by the conflict. At any time, the red line of protecting civilians in armed conflict must not be breached, and indiscriminate use of force is unacceptable. He said that China calls on all parties to fulfill their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, effectively safeguard the safety of civilians, and avoid attacks on civilian facilities.
Fu Cong pointed out that force is not the correct means to resolve international disputes and will only exacerbate hatred and conflicts. The escalation and spillover of the Middle East situation is not in the interest of any party. Resolving differences and disputes through dialogue and negotiation is the only way out.
Fu Cong said that China calls for an immediate cessation of military action to prevent the situation from escalating in cycles. He further stated that the relevant military strikes occurred while the US and Iran were engaged in diplomatic negotiations, which is shocking. All relevant parties should demonstrate political goodwill, resume dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible, and return to the right path of political settlement.
Fu Cong also said that China is willing to work together with the international community to unite efforts for peace and promote the early restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East region.
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson also said on Saturday that China is highly concerned about the US and Israeli military strikes on Iran, and Iran's national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity should be respected. "China urges an immediate cessation of military action to avoid further escalation of tensions, restore dialogue and negotiations, and safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East region."
After the United States and Israel launched a "large-scale military operation" against Iran on Saturday, Tehran immediately fired missiles in retaliation at US military facilities in Israel and multiple Middle Eastern countries. The world is watching the aftermath of this conflict with bated breath, including a series of chain reactions such as geopolitical changes, increased tensions in the Middle East, shipping security in the Strait of Hormuz, and rising oil prices.
