BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) — China pays close attention to the developments in the Middle East, does not want tensions to escalate again and hopes for an early ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular press conference on Tuesday.
The Chinese diplomat made the statement while commenting on US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a comprehensive ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.
Facts have proven that military means cannot bring peace, and dialogue and negotiations are the right way to solve problems, he said.
China calls on relevant parties to return to the correct path of political settlement as soon as possible. China is willing to work with the international community to make efforts to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East region, Guo Jiakun assured. -0-
