“China is highly concerned about the tension between Israel and Iran,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry as reported by
Jerusalem Post.
“We believe that further war and chaos in the region are not in the interests of any party. We hope that all parties will act prudently to avoid the situation falling into a vicious cycle,” Wang Yi said.
The international community, including China, has been worried about the possibility of an all-out war between Israel and Iran. “We will continue to play a constructive role in promoting the cooling of the situation and restoring regional peace,” Wang Yi said.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Wang Yi that his country didn’t want to see the already existing regional conflict expand, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
