BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhua) — Both the United States and Iran have expressed a willingness to resume negotiations, and the international community should encourage both sides to return to the negotiating table to find effective paths to a political settlement of the conflict, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Thursday.
China and Canada can jointly play a constructive role in this regard, emphasized Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, during a telephone conversation with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand. The conversation took place at the initiative of the Canadian side.
A. Anand briefed Wang Yi on Canada's position on the situation in the Middle East, noting that her country seeks to protect civilians affected by the conflict, contribute to de-escalation, prevent the spread of the conflict, and reduce its impact on the global economy and supply chains.
According to the head of the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Iranian nuclear issue concerns the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, and ensuring the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is in the common interests of all parties.
Canada is ready to work with China to promote a peaceful resolution and end the conflict, and to contribute to achieving peace and stability in the region, A. Anand added.
Wang Yi, for his part, outlined the Chinese side's principled position, stating that the Iranian nuclear issue must be resolved through dialogue and cannot serve as a justification for the use of force.
The abuse of military force will only lead to serious negative consequences, and the expansion of the combat zone poses a threat to the security and stability of the entire region, the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized.
The two sides also exchanged views on China-Canada relations and unanimously noted that the results of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China should be actively and pragmatically implemented, dialogue at all levels should be resumed, and mutually beneficial cooperation should be expanded to promote the stable and healthy development of the new-type China-Canada strategic partnership.
