 China has expressed concern over the United States' seizure of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiaqun said on Monday that Beijing was concerned about Washington's seizure of the Iranian ship and urged all parties to responsibly abide by the ceasefire agreement.

 

Jiaqun said, "The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is complex and sensitive," and stressed that the parties should refrain from further escalating tensions and create the necessary conditions for the resumption of normal ship passage through the strait.

He also called on the conflicting parties to "continue the ceasefire and negotiations," adding, "Now that there is an opportunity for peace, favorable conditions must be created to end the war as soon as possible."

The comments came after the United States announced that it had seized an Iranian cargo ship that had attempted to break through the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
