Hello everyone! In today’s global update, Chinese envoy Li Song, China’s permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), condemned the recent U.S. military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, describing the act as "egregious and unprecedented."
During an emergency IAEA meeting on the situation in Iran, Li Song expressed serious concerns over actions that he said violated the principles of the UN Charter and international law. As a state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and a nuclear-weapon state, the U.S. move has raised tensions in the Middle East.
Li Song stressed that negotiation and open dialogue are the only paths to resolving complex nuclear issues. He urged the international community, especially the U.S., to help cool down the situation, and called on all parties, including Israel, to implement a ceasefire for the safety of civilians. This appeal for calm and cooperation resonates with the values many of us from bustling cities in South and Southeast Asia hold dear. 🌏💬
