00:00The United States conducted the strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and East Faham.

00:07China strongly condemns the U.S. attacks on Iran

00:10and the bombing of nuclear facilities under the safeguards of the IAEA.

00:18The actions of the United States seriously violate the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter and international law,

00:24as well as Iran's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

00:30It has exacerbated tensions in the Middle East

00:33and dealt a heavy blow to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.

00:38The international community must uphold justice

00:40and make concrete efforts to cool down the situation and restore peace and stability.

00:46In this connection, I wish to put forward four appeals.

00:50First, we call for an immediate ceasefire and ending the hostilities.

00:56In the context of the abrupt escalation of tensions in the Middle East,

01:00China is deeply concerned about the risk of the situation getting out of control.

01:04The parties to the conflict, Israel in particular,

01:07should reach an immediate ceasefire to prevent a spiraling escalation

01:11and to resolutely avoid the spillover of the war.

01:16The parties concerned should abide by international law,

01:20curb the impulse to use force,

01:22and avoid exacerbating conflicts and adding fuel to the fire.

01:27Second, we call for effective protection of civilians.

01:32The ultimate victims of all conflicts are the innocent people.

01:37China is deeply saddened by the large number of civilian casualties caused by the conflict.

01:43Third, civilians and civilian facilities must not become targets of military operations.

01:49And the bottom line of international humanitarian law must not be breached.

01:53Parties to the conflict should place the interests and well-being of the people of the countries in the region

01:58above everything else,

02:00and make every effort to avoid harm to innocent civilians

02:03and refrain from attacking civilian facilities.

02:06Third, we call for commitment to dialogue and negotiation.

02:10Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved by the use of force.

02:15Dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental way out.

02:19At present, diplomatic means to address the Iranian nuclear issue haven't been exhausted,

02:24and there is still hope for a peaceful solution.

02:28Parties should stay firmly committed to the political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue

02:33and work to bring it back onto the track of a political solution

02:37through dialogue and a negotiation,

02:39with a view to reaching an agreement acceptable to all parties.

02:44Fourth, we call for swift actions by the Security Council.

02:49The Security Council has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security

02:55and cannot stand idly by in the face of a major crisis.

03:03Russia, China, and Pakistan have proposed a draft resolution

03:08calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire,

03:12the protection of civilians, respect for international law,

03:15and engaging in dialogue and negotiation.

03:17We hope that Council members can demonstrate their strong sense of responsibility

03:22by jointly supporting the draft resolution to enable the Security Council

03:26to fulfill its responsibilities for the maintenance of international peace and security.

03:31China stands ready to work with the international community to foster synergy,

03:35uphold justice, and make unremitting efforts to restore peace and stability in the Middle East.

03:40Thank you, President.
