China says prolonged US-Iran conflict serves no one’s interests

China’s Foreign Ministry said a prolonged US-Iran conflict serves no one’s interests.

Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the comments at a regular news briefing in Beijing.

A reporter asked about reports that the Trump administration had asked China to help end the conflict.

China said the parties should choose peace and settle disputes through dialogue and negotiations.

It called for peace and stability to return to the Middle East and Gulf region as soon as possible.

The statement did not describe any specific assistance China would provide or outline a next step.
