At an emergency UN Security Council meeting, Chinese envoy Fu Cong delivered a strong call for international efforts to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Iran. He stressed the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire to prevent the conflict from spiraling into a larger catastrophe. ⚠️
Fu condemned what he described as Israel’s attacks against Iran, stating that these actions violate international law and jeopardize regional peace and stability. His warning was clear: if the conflict intensifies further, the resulting losses will affect not only the involved parties but the whole region.
The envoy emphasized the protection of innocent civilians, urging all sides to refrain from indiscriminate violence and to facilitate the safe evacuation of third-country nationals. With ongoing disruptions to negotiations on Iran’s nuclear issues, returning to dialogue has become more crucial than ever.
Fu Cong welcomed recent diplomatic efforts, including the Geneva talks and a joint statement from the foreign ministers of 21 Arab and Islamic countries, which call for a ceasefire and the resumption of peaceful negotiations. 🤝
This call for peace truly resonates with our fast-paced, tech-savvy generation in South and Southeast Asia. Just as we rely on instant updates on our mobiles, the quest for global stability—through dialogue and mutual understanding—is essential to shaping a better tomorrow.
