BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that China opposes settling disputes by force and has always stood on the side of peace.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during a phone conversation with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

Wang said Israel and the United States have used force against Iran on the grounds of "potential future threats," which has seriously violated the international law and infringed upon Iran's sovereignty.

Dialogue and negotiation is the fundamental way out, Wang said, noting that all parties should restart dialogue on an equal basis and push the Iranian nuclear issue back onto the track of political settlement.

Wang said that the Palestinian question is at the heart of the Middle East issue, and it is necessary to promote the implementation of the two-state solution.

For his part, Fidan said if Israel wants to safeguard its security, it should accept the two-state solution and stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Türkiye is willing to enhance communication and coordination with China and jointly commit to achieving peace and stability in the Middle East region, he said. ■
