China calls for a just and reasonable solution to the Middle East issue, visiting Chinese special envoy to the Middle East Wang Shijie said Thursday in Tel Aviv.

Meeting with UN special envoy to the Middle East Terje Roed Larson, Wang said he believes that any unjust and unbalanced solution will not become a lasting solution.

Wang briefed the UN envoy about his mission to the Middle East, which has also brought him to Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.

He said during his visit to the Arab countries, he has got a strong feeling about the desire for peace from the Arab side and the willingness to compromise from the Palestinian side.

The Chinese envoy added that his visit to the region has strengthened his belief that the Israelis and Palestinians have no choice but living peacefully side by side.

The two envoys exchanged views on the situation in the region and on the US proposed "road map" plan for the Mideast peace.

For his part, Larson said the Quartet Committee on the Middle East, which groups the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia, is discussing of the "road map".

The peace proposal could be sent to the UN Security Council, which could adopt a resolution on it, he said.

Larson also hoped that China, as a permanent member of the Security Council, can play a bigger role on the Middle East peace.

Wang concluded his nine-day mission to the Middle East late Thursday. Before departure, Wang said he will come back to the region to continue his mediation whenever is necessary.
