No letup in Beijing's efforts to secure cease-fire and two-state solution of Palestinian question

China has never ceased making efforts to bring the conflict between Israel and Palestine to an early end, and promote the settlement of the Palestinian question under the framework of the two-state solution.

It is seeking to work with all like-minded countries to this effect. With its Middle East envoy engaged in busy shuttle diplomacy in the region, Beijing is actively taking advantage of all multilateral occasions and platforms to do its part as a responsible major country to promote not only an immediate cease-fire, but also a cessation of the hostilities between the two sides.

Its latest moves include President Xi Jinping attending the BRICS extraordinary virtual summit on the Palestine-Israel conflict on Tuesday, as well as the talks Foreign Minister Wang Yi hosted with a delegation of Arab-Islamic foreign ministers in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday.
