On March 25, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, held a phone call with Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan by mutual agreement. Wang Yi stated that the right and wrong of the Middle East conflict are very clear, and the international community needs to maintain an objective and fair stance on this issue. Currently, the conflict is rapidly spilling over and spreading throughout the region. The urgent task is to actively promote peace talks, seize the opportunity for peace, and push for an end to the fighting. China supports regional countries in remaining calm, responding rationally from the perspective of long-term and fundamental interests, insisting on resolving contradictions and differences through dialogue, and supporting Turkey in playing a constructive role in promoting the resumption of negotiations. Fidan said that regarding the current situation in the Middle East, Turkey's position is highly consistent with China's; both oppose military strikes launched without UN Security Council authorization and oppose further spillover of the conflict. China has always been committed to maintaining regional and global peace and believes that China will continue to play an important role. Turkey is willing to work with China to promote a ceasefire and end the war, so that the world can return to peace.
