China proposes five-point plan to resolve Iran conflict
China has outlined a comprehensive five-point approach to address the escalating conflict involving Iran, urging an immediate ceasefire and a return to political dialogue.
Speaking at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People’s Congress, Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasised the need to respect sovereignty, avoid military escalation, and involve major powers constructively to prevent further regional instability.
Wang described the Middle East as “engulfed in flames,” warning that continued military action would exacerbate divisions and prolong the crisis.
He stressed that China’s stance is objective and impartial, prioritising the cessation of hostilities and the protection of civilians while calling on all sides to seek political solutions rather than rely on force.
The five-point plan outlined by Wang Yi calls for all countries to respect the national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Iran and other Gulf nations.
He stressed that the use of force must be avoided and civilians should not become victims of armed conflict.
The plan also emphasised the principle of non-interference, allowing regional countries to determine their own future without external intervention.
Wang urged all parties to pursue political solutions through dialogue and negotiation instead of military confrontation.
Finally, he called on major global powers to play a constructive role in stabilising the region rather than intensifying tensions.
