  • Wang Yi said the two countries should push for a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue

BEIJING: China’s foreign minister told his Russian counterpart on Thursday that China and Russia should strengthen strategic coordination to promote peace in the Middle East, according to a ministry statement.

Wang Yi said the two countries should push for a diplomatic solution to the Iran nuclear issue, as he met with Russia’s Sergei Lavrov in Kuala Lumpur, China’s foreign ministry said.

“Peace cannot be achieved through force, and applying pressure won’t solve problems,” Wang said, adding that dialogue and negotiations were the way out.
