Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson has urged relevant parties in the Middle East crisis to bring an immediate ceasefire and return to peace and dialogue as soon as possible.

Spokesperson Lin Jian made the call on Tuesday at a news conference after the U.S. claimed to postpone planned strikes against Iran’s power plants for negotiations.

Lin said, “the protracted war does not serve anyone’s interest; ceasefire and dialogue are the only way out.

“China is gravely concerned about the continued escalation and spillover of the current situation, which has dealt blows to regional and global peace and stability.”
