June 24 — China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Beijing favors resolving regional disputes through dialogue, opposes the use or threat of force, and views the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU)—under which both parties pledge to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, refrain from military action and avoid interference in internal affairs—as a positive signal that should be jointly maintained and implemented. Guo said China maintains an impartial stance, supports efforts conducive to peace, backs Iran's sovereignty, security and national dignity, and supports Iran improving ties with Gulf and regional states. He added China is willing, under Xi Jinping's four-point proposal, to provide assistance in its own way and play a constructive role in restoring regional peace and stability.
