国内英语资讯:China committed to facilitating just settlement of Palestinian issue: vice president

RAMALLAH, Oct. 23 -- Visiting Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan called here Tuesday for concerted global efforts to push for a just end to the Palestinian issue on the basis of a two-state solution.

In a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, Wang recalled that China was among the first countries to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization and the State of Palestine, and has always stood side by side with the Palestinian people.

Since the initiation of the Middle East peace process, China has supported the Palestinians and the Israelis in solving their dispute through peaceful negotiations, said the Chinese vice president.

He added that under the new circumstances, China advocates continuing to strive for a just settlement of the Palestinian issue via peaceful talks on the basis of sticking to the two-state approach.

Wang recalled that in July last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping raised a four-point proposal on the Palestinian issue, and in July this year, Xi once again urged relevant parties to adhere to international consensus and deal with the Palestinian issue in a just manner.

China stands ready to work with the international community to step up peace-promoting efforts, innovate on peace-promoting mechanisms, and make unremitting efforts in seeking a comprehensive, just and permanent solution to the Palestinian issue as soon as possible, he added.

On bilateral relations, Wang said China appreciates and welcomes Palestine's active participation in Belt and Road construction, encourages competent Chinese businesses to invest in Palestine, and will continue to support Palestine's national development.
