Amid mounting pressures in the Middle East, China’s top UN representative Fu Cong delivered a pointed message during the Security Council’s January 28 debate: military action offers no path to resolution. Such steps, he cautioned, could drag the entire region into an abyss of unrelenting crisis.
Fu detailed the volatile environment, marked by ongoing strife and intensifying strains. He defended Iran’s status as an independent nation, where decisions on internal issues belong solely to its citizens. Beijing backs Tehran’s stability, sovereignty, security, and regional integrity unequivocally.
He implored relevant sides, including America, to listen to the international chorus and voices from the region. Concrete actions for peace must replace moves that heighten complexity, Fu advocated.
In a forward-looking stance, Fu outlined China’s approach: partnering with the world to respect Middle Eastern autonomy, heed valid regional worries, and actively build a foundation for lasting stability and harmony.
