Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a routine briefing on June 7 that
China is deeply concerned after Iran launched four rounds of missile strikes
against Israel in response to a deadly Israeli airstrike on Beirut. Lin urged
all parties to honor ceasefire commitments, maintain negotiation momentum and
resolve the dispute through political and diplomatic means, calling for an early
comprehensive, lasting ceasefire to restore peace and security in the Middle
East and Gulf region.
