Xi Jinping Urges Trump to Open Strait of Hormuz Through Dialogue, Says Wang Yi

Chinese President Xi Jinping has communicated to US President Donald Trump that there is an urgent necessity to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Following Trump's visit to Beijing, Wang Yi stated that President Xi emphasized that military force is ineffective in resolving current crises and that dialogue remains the only viable path forward. China officially calls upon both the United States and Iran to address their disagreements, including nuclear issues, through continued negotiations. Beijing advocates for the early reopening of the strategic waterway, contingent upon the observance of a ceasefire, and posits that a permanent and comprehensive cessation of hostilities is the fundamental solution. While Wang Yi acknowledged that immediate results in negotiations between Tehran and Washington are not expected, he reaffirmed that the door to dialogue must remain open. The Chinese government continues to act as a mediator, promoting reconciliation between the two nations to restore peace and stability in the Middle East region.
