Wang Yi spoke on the phone with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi.

On the 24th, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. Araghchi briefed on the latest developments on the regional situation and thanked China for providing emergency humanitarian assistance. He expressed gratitude for the unity of the Iranian people in resisting foreign aggression and defending national sovereignty and independence. Iran is committed to achieving a comprehensive ceasefire, not just a temporary truce. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all, with ships able to pass through safely, but countries engaged in conflict are not included. He hoped that measures taken by all parties would help cool the situation rather than escalate the conflict. He hoped that China would continue to play an active role in promoting peace and ceasefire. Wang Yi reiterated China's principles, emphasizing that all hot spot issues should be resolved through dialogue and negotiations, not force. Talking is always better than fighting. This is in the interests of Iran and its people, and also aligns with the general aspirations of the international community. He hoped that all parties would seize every opportunity for peace and dialogue. China will continue to uphold an objective and just position, oppose the violation of other countries' sovereignty, actively promote peace and ceasefire, and work towards regional peace and stability.
