BEIJING: China has called on all parties to the ongoing Gaza conflict to immediately ceasefire.
Speaking to journalists at her regular presser held here on Friday (12th April, 2024) Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning briefed about Thursday’s telephonic conversation between Chinese FM Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
During the phone call, Wang said China strongly condemned the attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria and stressed that the security of diplomatic institutions is inviolable and the sovereignty of Iran and Syria should be respected, according to Mao.
Mao added that this round of escalation is the latest manifestation of the spillover from the Gaza conflict, and it’s imperative that the conflict be put to rest as soon as possible.
China calls on all parties to the conflict to earnestly implement UN Security Council Resolution 2728, immediately cease fire and stop fighting, and stop the humanitarian crisis, said the spokesperson.
Resolution 2728, which was adopted on March 25, was the first Security Council resolution that demands or calls for a cease-fire in Gaza after the flare-up of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza on 7th October, 2023.
