JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump expressed his hope that China would encourage Iran to be willing to negotiate with the US on a ceasefire.
"I hear yes," Trump said optimistically to China during a telephone interview with AFP, Friday, May 8.
Responding to this, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu, told CNN International that since the conflict began, China has "tried to help achieve a ceasefire and end the conflict."
"China welcomes all efforts conducive to peace," said Liu Pengyu.
"We hope that the parties concerned will take advantage of the opportunity for peace, bridge the differences through dialogue, and end the conflict as soon as possible," he continued.
China previously played a key role in mediating a reconciliation between Iran and its longtime rival, Saudi Arabia, in 2023. Chinese President Xi Jinping is known to have a vision of an alternative to maintaining international security with his country as a mediator.
