Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The presidents of China and Russia announced in a joint statement today, referring to the US and Israeli aggression against Iran, that they "agree that these attacks violate international law and the basic principles of international relations and seriously undermine stability in the Middle East."
According to Russian state media, Moscow and Beijing emphasized the need for the warring parties to return to dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible in order to prevent the conflict from spreading beyond the region.
They also called on the international community to adopt an objective and impartial position, help reduce tensions in the West Asian region, and jointly safeguard the fundamental principles of international relations.
Earlier, Xi told Putin that the situation in the Middle East was at a critical and decisive stage. The Chinese president stressed that hostilities must cease immediately and called the resumption of war against Iran unacceptable.
Xi also credited the rapid achievement of a ceasefire with reducing obstacles to energy supplies and international trade.
