Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called on the United States and Iran to resolve their disputes, including the nuclear issue, through negotiations and dialogue following US President Donald Trump’s recent state visit to China.
Briefing reporters on the outcomes of the Xi-Trump summit on Friday, Wang said both sides exchanged views on major international issues, including the conflict involving Iran and security around the Strait of Hormuz.
“China encourages the US and Iran to continue resolving their differences and disputes, including the nuclear issue, through negotiations, and advocates the swift reopening of the Strait of Hormuz on the basis of maintaining a ceasefire,” he said, adding that the leaders held nearly nine hours of talks during Trump’s three-day state visit to China and describing the discussions as candid, in-depth and strategic.

The minister said force cannot resolve complex disputes and that political engagement remains the only viable path forward.
Wang said both sides agreed to establish a trade council and an investment council and to continue discussions on tariff adjustments and agricultural market access.
He added that working teams from both countries are continuing negotiations to finalise details and ensure implementation of the agreements.
