Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning

Since the eruption of the war, China has remained in communication with all relevant parties and has been actively promoting peace and preventing escalation of the war, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing on Thursday, in response to media inquiry over the White House's claims that the US and China had high level talks on the Iran issue.

In response to another question asking does China believe Lebanon should be included in the ceasefire agreement that has already been reached, Mao said that China hopes all parties concerned will seize the opportunity of reaching this temporary ceasefire arrangement to resolve the dispute and extinguish the flames of war through political and diplomatic channels.
