Wang Yi spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlt avuolu on the phone.

On March 25, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, had a phone conversation with Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan. Wang Yi stated that the right and wrong of the Middle East conflict are very clear, and the international community needs to hold an objective and fair position on this issue. Currently, the conflict is rapidly spreading and affecting the entire region. The top priority is to actively promote peace talks, seize the opportunity for peace, and promote the cessation of hostilities. China supports countries in the region to remain calm, respond rationally to the current crisis from a long-term and fundamental interest perspective, and persist in resolving differences through dialogue, supporting Turkey to play a constructive role in promoting the resumption of negotiations. Fidan expressed that Turkey's position on the current situation in the Middle East is highly consistent with China's, both oppose military attacks without authorization from the United Nations Security Council and oppose further escalation of the conflict. China has always been committed to maintaining regional and world peace, and Turkey believes that China will continue to play an important role. Turkey is willing to work together with China to promote a ceasefire and stop the war, allowing the world to return to the path of peace and development. The two sides also exchanged views on other regional issues.
