According to the Office of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 2, 2026, Xinhua News Agency reporters asked: Since the United States and Israel launched military strikes on Iran on February 28, US military targets in Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan have been attacked successively, and relevant countries have issued statements condemning them. What is China's comment on this?

Mao Ning: The United States and Israel launching military strikes against Iran without authorization from the Security Council violates international law. China is deeply concerned about the spillover effects of the war on neighboring countries. China believes that the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Gulf countries should also be fully respected. We urge all parties to cease military actions and prevent further spread of war. The Chinese side appreciates the special foreign ministers' meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council for emphasizing that dialogue and diplomacy are the only way to overcome the current crisis and maintain regional security. The current situation in the region is complex and sensitive. China supports regional countries to strengthen communication and coordination from the perspective of good neighborliness and friendship, and work together towards regional peace and stability.
