In a significant push for peaceful solutions, China, Iran, and Russia are set to hold expert-level consultations on the Iranian nuclear issue in Moscow from April 7 to 8. Hosted in Moscow with robust support from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, this trilateral dialogue underscores a commitment to resolving complex nuclear challenges through diplomacy rather than force.
Spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized, "I would like to reiterate that China firmly believes resolving the Iranian nuclear issue through political and diplomatic means is the only correct approach." He noted that China will continue to maintain communication with all relevant parties, working toward a balanced solution that addresses the legitimate concerns of everyone involved, while upholding the international non-proliferation regime and striving for stability in the Middle East.
Addressing additional reports regarding potential direct talks between the U.S. and Iran, Lin Jian called on all parties to enhance dialogue and engagement and to refrain from measures that risk further escalation. He specifically urged the U.S. to move away from threats and maximum pressure tactics, advocating instead for sincere political consultation based on mutual respect.
This high-level consultation marks a strategic step in the ongoing global effort to navigate nuclear tensions and reflects a broader commitment to ensuring peace and security through dialogue.
