Wang Yi speaks with Iranian FM; Global governance white paper; Employment plan; G7; US holds back tech restrictions

Wang Yi said China welcomes the first-stage memorandum of understanding reached between Iran and the United States. The facts prove that force and power politics cannot solve problems, and that dialogue and negotiation are the correct choice. As a comprehensive strategic partner, China has consistently supported Iran’s reasonable and legitimate claims, supported Iran in safeguarding its own sovereignty and security, supported the mediation efforts of Pakistan and the international community, and has all along worked in its own way to halt the fighting and promote peace. The dawn of peace has already appeared; the key in the next step is for all parties to genuinely put their commitments into practice and to eliminate interference from all quarters. The issue of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz should be handled appropriately, with a prudent response to the common concerns of the international community.
