Beijing, June 19 (LaPresse) – “The Israel-Iran conflict has triggered a sudden escalation of tensions in the Middle East and has also had a serious impact on global security. The international community—especially the major powers with significant influence over the parties involved—should work to promote de-escalation, not the opposite,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping during his talks with Vladimir Putin, according to China’s Xinhua news agency.
During the conversation with the Kremlin leader, Xi also stated that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel “is an urgent priority.”
“The use of force is not the right way to resolve international disputes,” he added.
