🇨🇳 China's Wang Yi Calls for Two-State Solution: A Peaceful Ending to a Longstanding Drama 🎭
At a time when the Middle East feels like a never-ending series on repeat, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stepped onto the global stage with a message of hope. Speaking at a high-level UN Security Council meeting in New York, Wang Yi urged the world to embrace the two-state solution as the finale for the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Wang Yi, also part of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, didn't hold back. He called for a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal of troops from the Gaza Strip. \"It's time to stop the reruns of conflict and start a new season of peace,\" he emphasized, urging all parties to stick to UN resolutions and avoid actions that could escalate tensions.
Drawing attention to unity, he encouraged Palestinian factions to implement the Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity. He voiced support for the Palestinian Authority in leveling up its governance game to effectively manage all Palestinian territories.
Taking it a step further, Wang Yi called on the UN Security Council to back Palestine's journey to becoming a full member of the United Nations. He suggested hosting an international peace conference that's bigger, better, and more effective, complete with a solid timetable and roadmap for making the two-state solution happen.
Recognizing the humanitarian crisis, he highlighted the need for more aid and ensured that help gets to those who need it. \"We have to support the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to continue its crucial role,\" he said.
Wang Yi made it clear that China isn't in it for any hidden agenda. \"We never interfere in the internal affairs of countries in the Middle East, and we don't play games with hotspot issues for our own gain,\" he stated. \"China is ready to team up with all peace-loving nations, including our friends in Arab and Islamic countries, to prevent the conflict from spilling over, make the two-state solution a reality, and bring some much-needed peace to the Middle East.\"
💫 As the global community watches, Wang Yi's call resonates with a universal yearning for peace and a happy ending to a story that's gone on for too long.
