Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

When asked about China's response to US President Donald Trump's extended ceasefire with Iran and what role Chinese diplomacy played in the extension, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for China's foreign ministry, said that the current situation in the region is at a critical stage of whether the conflict can end. The pressing priority is to prevent by all means a relapse in fighting. 

China supports relevant parties in continuing the political and diplomatic effort to resolve disputes with the aim of realizing a full and lasting ceasefire and keeping the Middle East and Gulf region peaceful and stable. China stands ready to act in the spirit of the four-point proposition put forward by President Xi Jinping and work with the international community to play an active and constructive role to this end, said Guo.
