There is a feeling that we are approaching an agreement with Iran, but nothing is final.

Our Chinese friends also believe that Iran after the war is different from Iran before it.

It has gained an upgraded international status and has proven its capability and power, and therefore a new era of cooperation between Iran and other countries is ahead.

All current issues were reviewed: the war and how to end it; ongoing negotiations; issues related to Iran's peaceful nuclear program; discussions about sanctions; all bilateral matters; and discussions about the Strait of Hormuz and the necessity of respecting Iran's rights were serious topics, and all existing viewpoints were discussed.

China has been actively promoting peace talks.

China believes that a comprehensive ceasefire should be immediate, and we should not have a restart of the war.

China supports the Iranian side to uphold national security and sovereignty.

The international community has a mutual concern regarding the normal passage of the Strait of Hormuz. China hopes relevant parties respond to the strong calls of the international community.

Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran.

If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Japan bears grave historical responsibilities for Southeast Asian countries including the Philippines due to its aggression and colonial rule.

In this special year which marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Tokyo trials, the once aggressor has failed to deeply reflect on its historical crimes. Instead, it has sent military forces overseas and fired offensive missiles under the pretext of security cooperation.

This move once again proves that Japanese right-wing forces are pushing for accelerated remilitarization of Japan. They have repeatedly breached Japan’s exclusively defense-oriented policy and relevant rules in international and domestic laws.

Some of their policies and moves have gone far beyond the scope of self-defense. The series of lack of education on true history, the fundamentally wrong historical views and the strategic attempts for military rearmament have led to the malevolent emergence of neo-militarism in Japan and threatened regional peace and stability.

We urge the Japanese side to deeply reflect on its history of militarist aggression and honor its commitments and stay prudent in military and security areas.

The pursuit of Taiwan independence is a dead end and its days are numbered.

The more frantic Lai Ching-te’s attempts are, the less possible they will lead him anywhere.

China asks the Ukrainian side to follow the relevant international laws to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese nationals.

Asked if NYP should send a reporter to Islamabad, he replied, “I don’t think so,” before abruptly ending the call, saying he had an appointment with “the generals.”

I have had a constructive meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing.

Both sides reaffirmed Iran's right to uphold national sovereignty and national dignity.

The Iranian side appreciated China's four-point proposal for maintaining and promoting regional peace and stability.

Iran trusts China and looks forward to its continued active role in promoting peace and ending the conflict in the region, as well as supporting the establishment of a new post-war regional framework that can balance development and security.
