Wang Yi, a member of the CPC Central Politburo and director of the Central
Foreign Affairs Office, told a BRICS senior security representatives' meeting in
New Delhi that a recent first‑stage memorandum of understanding between the US
and Iran, following a conflict lasting more than 100 days, severely disrupted
regional and international stability and offers key lessons. He said crisis
resolution must be predicated on adherence to international rules, noting that
'jungle law' may succeed briefly but is unsustainable; respect for state
sovereignty — territorial integrity and non-interference — is a basic
international bottom line. He urged a new security concept, warning that states
are increasingly interdependent and that pursuing absolute security at others'
expense will backfire. He also highlighted that recent conflicts have made
information and cyber warfare more overt, with traditional and non-traditional
threats now intertwined, and said BRICS should strengthen security dialogue and
cooperation.
