Hey there, amigos! 🌎 Big news from the East: China is stepping up to call for peace in the Middle East, especially in the ongoing Gaza conflict. 🇵🇸🇮🇱
On Friday, Mao Ning, spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, urged all parties involved in the Gaza conflict to put down their weapons and pledged that China will continue to play a constructive role in resolving the Middle East issue. 🕊️
Mao's remarks came after a phone call between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. During the chat, Wang expressed strong condemnation of the attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. 🏛️ He emphasized that the security of diplomatic institutions is inviolable and that the sovereignty of Iran and Syria should be respected.
\"This latest escalation is a spillover from the Gaza conflict, and it's imperative to end the fighting as soon as possible,\" Mao noted. ⏰
China is calling on all parties to earnestly implement UN Security Council Resolution 2728, immediately cease fire, stop fighting, and end the humanitarian crisis. 🛑
Resolution 2728, adopted on March 25, was the first Security Council resolution that demands a cease-fire in Gaza after the flare-up of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on October 7, 2023.
\"China will continue to play a constructive role in resolving the Middle East issue on its own merits and contribute to cooling down the situation,\" Mao declared. 🌐
Looks like China is taking on a peacemaker role, aiming to bring calm to a troubled region. Let's hope their efforts help cool things down! ✌️
