MUNICH, Feb 16 (NNN-DPA) – China hopes that the Gaza ceasefire arrangements between Israel and Hamas will be effectively implemented, paving the way for a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire, Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said here, yesterday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, after attending the Munich Security Conference.
The two sides exchanged views primarily on the situation in Gaza.
Wang pointed out that the Palestinian issue is at the core of the Middle East issue. He emphasised that violence for violence will only lead to a new vicious cycle, and the humanitarian disaster in Gaza must be brought to an end as soon as possible.
Wang expressed hope that the ceasefire arrangement will be effectively implemented, laying the foundation for achieving a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire.
He also underscored that the fundamental solution to the Middle East issue lies in implementing the two-state solution, which could ultimately enable a peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel, and foster friendly exchanges between the Arab and Jewish peoples.
China remains committed to upholding justice and will continue to play a constructive role in seeking a comprehensive and lasting resolution to the Palestinian issue, Wang said.– NNN-DPA
