Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned at a joint press conference in Paris that the abuse of military force deepens conflicts and sows further hatred. He stressed that war is not a viable solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and that preemptive strikes lack true legitimacy.
Wang Yi emphasized the importance of dialogue and negotiation in resolving international disputes. He recalled that the Iranian nuclear issue once served as a hopeful example of peaceful resolution, yet now it risks sparking a new round of Middle East turmoil. His remarks highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive international agreement, with strict oversight by the International Atomic Energy Agency, to ensure that nuclear activities are conducted peacefully.
Questioning the logic of a "peace through strength" approach, Wang warned that relying solely on military might only opens a Pandora's box for smaller and vulnerable nations. He also stressed that ongoing humanitarian issues in Gaza and the unresolved Palestinian issue demand attention, noting that the two-state solution remains the most realistic path toward lasting peace.
In today’s dynamic global scene, his call for constructive dialogue over brute force is a clear reminder for everyone—especially our youth—to stay informed and advocate for peaceful resolutions. Let’s remember: embracing conversation and cooperation is the true beat for a harmonious future. ✌️🌍
