Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi said on Tuesday that recent US-Iran progress in reaching a memorandum of understanding has underscored key lessons from more than 100 days of conflict that have sharply affected regional and global stability.

Speaking at the 16th Meeting of BRICS National Security Advisors and High Representatives on National Security, Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, said recent developments highlight the importance of upholding international rules as the basis for resolving disputes, warning that the law of the jungle may deliver short-term gains but is not sustainable.

He also stressed the need to respect national sovereignty and territorial integrity, saying non-interference in domestic affairs remains a fundamental bottom line in international relations.

Wang further called for a new security vision. All countries are increasingly interconnected as a community of shared future and seeking absolute security at the expense of others ultimately backfires, he said.

Noting the growing prominence of information warfare and cyber operations in recent conflicts, Wang said traditional and non-traditional security threats are becoming increasingly intertwined, adding that enhanced dialogue and cooperation among BRICS countries on security affairs is timely and necessary.
