China is striving to play a mediating role in the negotiations between Iran and the US. Geng Shuang, the spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, emphasized the importance of resolving disputes through diplomacy and political avenues during a press conference on Wednesday and expressed hope that the two countries would return to the Islamabad Agreement and resume negotiations as soon as possible.
China's Efforts for Peace
Geng Shuang further stated that China has always worked towards stopping wars and establishing peace in the Middle East. He referred to the initiatives of Xi Jinping, the President of China, aimed at achieving peace and stability in the region and expressed hope that these initiatives could help restore peace and calm in the Persian Gulf region.

Previously, Xi Jinping emphasized during a meeting with Donald Trump, the President of the United States, that Beijing welcomes Tehran and Washington's return to the Islamabad Agreement. This agreement is seen as a joint effort to resolve the existing crises in the relations between the two countries, and China hopes that it can provide a suitable platform for constructive dialogues.
China's Opposition to Unilateral Sanctions
Geng Shuang also firmly stated in response to the recent US sanctions against countries allowing Iranian planes to land: "We oppose unilateral and illegal sanctions that have no basis in international law and are not authorized by the United Nations Security Council." These remarks reflect China's position in support of international law and opposition to sanction policies that, according to the country, exacerbate tensions and crises.
As a major economic and political power in the world, China is actively working to play its role in global peace and stability. Given the complex relations between Iran and the US and the high impact of these relations on regional security and stability, China's support for negotiations and agreements between the two countries could help reduce tensions and create a positive atmosphere for future dialogues.
Ultimately, it seems that China can play a significant role as an effective mediator in the Middle East crises, especially in the relations between Iran and the US. In this regard, it is expected that the two countries will soon reach new agreements with an understanding of the importance of diplomacy and cooperation.
