Washington, March 25 (Xinhua) — The White House is trying to arrange a meeting in Pakistan this weekend to discuss ways to resolve the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, CNN reported Wednesday, citing two senior US officials.

According to the report, under the current plan, US Vice President J.D. Vance may travel to Pakistan to participate in possible talks.

It is noted that, in addition to Pakistan, Türkiye is also being considered as a potential venue for negotiations.

Israel is concerned that the US might declare a month-long ceasefire to facilitate talks with Iran, two Israeli sources told CNN on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told India Today that there are no negotiations or consultations taking place between Iran and the United States.

“No one can trust American diplomacy,” E. Bagai emphasized, noting that Iran has a disastrous experience of interacting with American diplomacy, as evidenced by the US attacks during past nuclear negotiations. –0–

Beijing, March 25 (Xinhua) — China supports Middle Eastern countries in maintaining composure and resolving disputes and differences through dialogue, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, which was initiated by the Turkish side.

It is absolutely clear who is right and who is wrong in the conflict in the Middle East, and the international community must take an objective and impartial position in this regard, the head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized.

Noting that the conflict is currently rapidly spreading across the region, Wang Yi said the top priority is to actively promote peace talks, seize opportunities for peace, and facilitate de-escalation.

The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that China supports countries in the region in maintaining composure and responding rationally to the current situation in the long term and from the perspective of their fundamental interests.

The Chinese side supports Turkey's constructive role in facilitating the resumption of negotiations, Wang Yi added.

For his part, Fidan stated that Turkey and China's positions on the current situation in the Middle East largely coincide. He stated that both countries oppose military attacks without UN Security Council approval and oppose further escalation of the conflict.

The Turkish diplomat noted that China is always committed to maintaining peace in the region and around the world. He expressed confidence that China will continue to play its important role.

BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday called on the international community to actively promote dialogue between parties involved in the conflict in the Middle East.

Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ata, which was initiated by the Egyptian side.

B. Abdel Aty outlined his vision of the situation in the region to Wang Yi, noting that the Egyptian side is deeply concerned about the current developments. Particularly concerning, according to the Egyptian diplomat, is the potential for attacks and the disruption of energy and power supply facilities to lead to chaos throughout the region.

To facilitate de-escalation, the Egyptian side is communicating with various parties and actively encouraging the negotiation process, the Egyptian Foreign Minister indicated.

B. Abdel Aty noted that Egypt and China are comprehensive strategic partners. Egypt is ready to maintain close coordination with China and jointly strengthen diplomatic efforts to prevent the region and the world from descending into chaos, he added.

Wang Yi, for his part, stated that both China and Egypt are responsible major countries that oppose military operations not authorized by the UN Security Council and attacks on civilians and civilian objects, and also have a negative attitude towards the spread of the conflict to the Persian Gulf countries.

According to the Chinese Foreign Minister, the situation in the Middle East is changing very rapidly. Both the US and Iran are signaling negotiations, and a glimmer of hope for peace has emerged, Wang Yi stated.

If this war continues, it will only bring new victims and senseless losses, leading to the conflict spreading beyond the region, the Chinese diplomat noted.

Wang Yi emphasized that as long as negotiations continue, hope for peace remains. He noted that the UN Security Council's actions should contribute to defusing the situation and promoting dialogue, as well as preventing the spread of conflict, rather than granting a license to use force.

Noting that China supports Egypt's continued mediation efforts to resume peace talks and end the war, Wang Yi said China is also willing to continue making constructive contributions to achieve this goal.
