Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged an immediate halt to military operations in West Asia to prevent the conflict from escalating.
The statement was made in a telephone conversation with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi on Monday.
Al Busaidi announced that through Omani mediation, negotiations between Iran and the United States (US) have shown unprecedented progress.
However, he condemned the actions of the US and Israel that ignored the results of the negotiations and chose to launch a war.
As a result, more lives are at risk and property losses are inevitable.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China reaffirms its commitment to the principles and purposes of the UN Charter and plays a reliable stabilizing role, according to Al Busaidi.
The current situation is very sensitive and complex, thus requiring China to take a more active role while Oman strives to safeguard the safety of Chinese people and institutions in its country.
Wang praised Oman for its efforts to mediate the Iran-US talks and stressed that despite progress, the US and Israel deliberately provoked a war that clearly violates UN principles.
China urged that this crisis not be allowed to reach an irreversible point and called on all parties to work together for an immediate ceasefire.
China also supports Oman in its mediation mission and is ready to play a constructive role, including in the UN Security Council to uphold justice and stop the war.
In addition, the country also stressed its concern for the concerns of Middle Eastern countries to support their efforts to safeguard sovereignty and security.
Wang also reminded that the issue of war not only burdens West Asian countries economically but also affects their long-term interests.
In this geopolitical tension, a loose approach will only worsen the situation and lead to more serious regional instability.
China wants to be seen as a power that upholds peace, but in reality, geopolitical pressure and the huge interests of external powers continue to test the resolve of regional countries.
