Trump believes China is promoting Iran's involvement in ceasefire negotiations; Ministry of Foreign Affairs responds

Trump Says China Is Pushing Iran to Join Ceasefire Talks; Foreign Ministry Responds

On April 8, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press briefing. A reporter from UK Sky News asked a question. U.S. President Donald Trump said that he believes it is China that has pushed Iran to participate in negotiations for the current ceasefire agreement. Can the Chinese side confirm this claim? Second, if China has indeed been involved, some provisions of the agreement already appear to have clear disagreements—especially whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire scope, and whether the issue of Iran’s uranium enrichment is included in the “ten-point plan” submitted to the U.S. Can the Chinese side provide further clarification on these details?

Mao Ning said that since the outbreak of the Iran conflict, China has consistently worked actively to promote peace talks and stop the fighting. Foreign Minister Wang Yi has held talks with foreign ministers of relevant countries 26 times in succession. China’s Special Envoy for Middle East Issues has traveled back and forth to the Middle East and the Gulf region. China and Pakistan have also jointly put forward the “Five-Point Initiative for Restoring Peace and Stability in the Gulf and the Middle East.”

Mao Ning emphasized that as a responsible major power, China will continue to play a constructive role, making positive contributions to restoring peace and tranquility in the Gulf and the Middle East.
