In a dynamic call on Wednesday, China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty expressed deep concern over the escalating tensions in the Middle East. Both leaders highlighted the risk of the region descending into widespread instability, threatening the security of many countries throughout the area. 💬
Abdelatty noted that the international community is increasingly anxious about the potential for chaos, urging immediate political dialogue, especially regarding the Iranian nuclear issue. He condemned actions that clearly violate international law, reflecting a global call for justice.
Wang stressed that Israel's recent actions have significantly escalated regional tensions and called on all parties, particularly Israel, to cease hostilities immediately, de-escalate conflicts, and pave the way for renewed dialogue and negotiations. His remarks underline China's commitment to ensuring the well-being of populations in the affected areas. ✌️
Egypt's leadership has also played a critical role, rallying 20 Arab and Islamic countries to issue a joint foreign ministers' statement calling for an immediate ceasefire and the revival of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue—a timely initiative warmly supported by China. 🌏
Both sides emphasized the importance of building international consensus and coordinating unified actions on platforms such as the United Nations to promote peace and stability in the region. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving dialogue!
