Chinese State Councilor Wu Yi who is on a visit in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday urged Israel to immediately cease fire and return to the negotiation table, Kuwait's official KUNA news agency reported.

At a press conference held in the Saudi Red Sea port city of Jeddah, Wu stressed the need for Israeli troops to pull out from all occupied Arab territories and ensure the safety of Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat.

The Chinese councilor, who arrived in Jeddah Sunday evening for a five-day visit to the kingdom, held talks respectively with Saudi King Fahd Ibn Abdul-Aziz on Sunday and Minister of Finance and National Economy Ibrahim Al-Assaf Monday evening.

Both sides discussed ways of boosting bilateral cooperation and expanding the trade volume, especially the Saudi oil export to China.

Saudi Arabia is the last leg of Wu's six-nation Mideast tour, which has taken her to Iran, Lebanon, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
