On Tuesday, China voiced its support for the ongoing diplomatic discussions between Iran and the United States, expressing hope that these engagements would pave the way for a peaceful resolution. The Chinese foreign ministry emphasized the necessity for all parties involved to seize this opportunity for dialogue, particularly amid rising geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Additionally, China took the opportunity to critique the Quad, a strategic alliance comprising India, the United States, Japan, and Australia, particularly in light of their recent agreement concerning the Fiji port. China stated that cooperation among nations should foster regional peace and stability, rather than undermine mutual trust. The ministry reiterated its stance against forming 'exclusive camps,' which is widely interpreted as a direct criticism of the Quad's efforts to strengthen ties in the Indo-Pacific region. Beijing has consistently argued that regional partnerships should not be aimed at isolating or targeting third countries, advocating instead for inclusive cooperation that benefits all nations involved.
