According to a transcript of Wang’s speech released by Pakistan’s Information Ministry, “China will continue to stand firmly on the side of the Palestinian people and support the convening of a more authoritative and representative international peace conference on the basis of the two-state solution in order to promote a comprehensive and just settlement of the Palestinian issue.”
He said today that he “heard the call of many Islamic friends” over the long-standing dispute in Jammu and Kashmir, adding that Beijing “shares the same ambition.”
Regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Wang stated that China supports Moscow-Kyiv peace talks.
