Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the urgent need for de-escalation in the Middle East during a phone conversation with Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah on Monday. The discussion focused on recent unauthorized military actions by the US and Israel against Iran while diplomatic negotiations were ongoing.
Wang, who serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stated that such unilateral strikes constitute a violation of international law. "The highest priority now is achieving an immediate ceasefire," he asserted, praising Gulf nations\' consistent advocacy for peaceful dialogue.
The diplomatic exchange comes as regional tensions reach a critical juncture in March 2026, with China positioning itself as a voice for multilateral conflict resolution. Analysts suggest this consultation strengthens coordination between Asian and Middle Eastern partners seeking stability through diplomatic channels.
