China Urges Ceasefire Compliance Amid Rising Middle East Tensions

(MENAFN) China expressed “deep” concern on Monday over rising tensions in the Middle East, calling on all parties to uphold the existing ceasefire and avoid further escalation.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said in a briefing in Beijing that “Beijing is deeply concerned over the current situation. Another fight does not serve any party's interests.”

He added: “We hope that relevant parties honor their commitment of ceasefire, keep to the momentum of negotiation, and stay committed to resolving disputes through diplomatic and political channels and create necessary conditions for restoring regional peace and stability in the Middle East and Gulf region.”

The comments come after Iran launched multiple missile barrages toward northern Israel late Sunday following an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, which Israel said targeted a Hezbollah command and planning center.

In a separate development, the Indian Embassy in Tehran advised Indian nationals to avoid travel to Iran and recommended that those already in the country leave, according to an official advisory.
