China has always stood by Iran’s reasonable and legitimate propositions, supported Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty and security, and backed mediation efforts by Pakistan and the international community, Wang Yi said, adding that China has always worked in its own way to end hostilities and promote peace.
The priority going forward is for all parties to deliver earnestly on their commitments and fend off disturbances from all sides, he said. The issue of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz needs to be properly addressed to respond appropriately to the widespread concerns of the international community.
China supports Iran’s efforts to improve relations with regional countries and explore the joint development of a regional security architecture, Wang Yi said.
For his part, Abbas Araghchi said that the MoU should be effectively implemented, including Israel's cessation of military operations against Lebanon.
