On June 24, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone call with Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

Wang Yi said, Israel and the United States  have used force against Iran on the grounds of "potential future threats", which has seriously violated international law and infringed upon Iran's sovereignty. The U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency set a bad precedent and threaten the international nuclear non-proliferation regime. Peace needs to be defended with strength, but strength may not necessarily bring true peace. China opposes the use of force to settle disputes and always stands on the side of peace, dialogue, and international justice.

Wang Yi stated that President Xi Jinping has put forward four proposals regarding the situation in the Middle East, emphasizing that promoting a ceasefire and ending the hostilities is an urgent priority, ensuring the safety of civilians is of paramount importance, opening dialogue and negotiation is the fundamental way forward, and the efforts by the international community to promote peace are indispensable. China maintains communication with Iran, Israel, and relevant parties, and looks forward to achieving a real ceasefire and its practical and effective implementation. All parties should draw lessons from the past, restart dialogues on an equal footing, and bring the Iranian nuclear issue back onto the track of political settlement. The question of Palestine remains at the heart of the Middle East issue. It is necessary to promote the implementation of the two-State solution to ultimately achieve peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine. China supports Türkiye in hosting and convening the session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, urging all parties to send a unified voice opposing war, supporting peace, and calling for deescalation of conflicts. China expects Türkiye to continue playing a positive role in promoting regional peace and stability.

Hakan Fidan stated that since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Iran, Türkiye has been committed to promoting a ceasefire and an end of the hostilities, advocating for dialogue and negotiations. The current ceasefire agreement between the two sides brings some hope. The attacks on nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency violate international law and may lead to catastrophic consequences such as nuclear leaks. If Israel wants to safeguard its security, it should accept the two-State solution and stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Maintaining one's own security at the expense of other nations' security is unsustainable and may lead to more and wider conflicts. Noting China's crucial role, he said Türkiye is willing to enhance communication and coordination with China and jointly work towards achieving peace and stability in the Middle East.
