China Respects Any Decision Favoring Middle East Peace Process: FM SpokesmanForeign Ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said Tuesday that China has always been supportive to Palestine's just cause and respected any decision made by Palestine that favors the peace process in the Middle East.Sun said this at the regular press conference this afternoon in response to a question on Palestine's recent announcement to declare an independent state in September. The Palestinian issue is at the core of the Middle East issue, he said. China established diplomatic ties with Palestine as early as 1998, therefore China supports the Palestinian people to recover their legitimate rights, including the rights of going back to their homes and establishing an independent state. This is also the obligation of the international community, Sun noted. China hopes that Palestine and Israel will abide by all agreements already reached, and solve the issue regarding the final status of Palestine through flexible and pragmatic negotiations, he added. |
