Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged quick peace talks in a phone call with his Iranian

counterpart Abbas Araqqi on March 24th.

He stressed that dialogue beats conflict every time and pushed for solving global hot spots

through talks instead of force.

Wang's ministry released a statement highlighting the need to grab every chance for negotiations

right away.

This comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

Iranian state media reported Araqqi's reply the next day.

He called on security council members, especially China and Russia, to stand firm against

what he sees as U.S. misuse of the council and aggression from the United States and Israel.

The exchange shows both sides prioritizing talks, though their views on key players differ.

Officials continue watching how this diplomatic push unfolds.
