Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Will take all necessary measures to protect the safety of Chinese citizens in Iran.

In response to the US State Department's request on the 12th for US citizens to leave Iran immediately, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated at a routine press conference on the 13th that China hopes and supports Iran in maintaining national stability. We have always been against interfering in other countries' internal affairs, and against the use or threat of force in international relations. We hope all parties will do more to promote peace and stability in the Middle East. "We are closely monitoring the situation in Iran, and we will take all necessary measures to protect the safety of Chinese citizens," Mao Ning said.
