伊朗外交部：希望那些領土和設施曾被美以侵略者用於近期強加戰爭中對伊朗發動攻擊的地區國家，能夠重新審視其立場。

Chinese and EU teams held intensive talks this week to prepare the inaugural China-EU trade and investment consultation meeting. EU negotiators reportedly showed little willingness to compromise and are preparing additional protectionist measures even as talks proceed, raising the risk of a sudden escalation in China-EU trade tensions. China says it remains committed to dialogue but is ready to launch firm, necessary countermeasures at any time. EU officials also signalled that bilateral consultations will not limit use of existing trade instruments or development of new ones, suggesting further deterioration in economic and trade ties may be likely.
