JAKARTA - Chinese President Xi Jinping has again called for the creation of a Palestinian state and an international peace conference, condemning "extraordinary suffering" in the Middle East and a peace conference, while accepting Arab state leaders in Beijing.
"Since last October, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has increased dramatically and has caused tremendous suffering to society. War must not continue indefinitely. Justice must not be lost forever," President Xi said at the opening of a meeting of Chinese diplomats with Arab countries attended by a number of regional leaders on Thursday., reported CNN May 30.
On the occasion, President Xi also reiterated calls from the Bamboo Curtain Country for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, as well as Beijing's support for a "larger, authoritative and effective international peace conference."
A diplomatic meeting in Beijing comes as Israel's war on Gaza remains a pressing global focus, as Israeli forces intensify operations in Rafah City, while the humanitarian crisis is getting worse day by day.
China, which has sought to deepen its ties with the Middle East in recent years, is positioning itself in line with the Arab world and South countries in the conflict that has been going on for nearly eight months, criticizing Israel and calling for a ceasefire.
That left Beijing at odds with the United States, which has long been a major force in Israel's territory and main supporter.
On the same occasion, President Xi also praised "the shared desire for a new era of Chinese-Arab relations", saying the relationship between the two sides could be a "model to maintain world peace and stability."
