Xi: World must work for two-s8k8 com login passwordtate solution

President Xi Jinping appealed to the global community on Thursday to unwaveringly commit itself to the two-state solution to resolve the Palestine-Israel conflict, while pledging Beijing's support for a more broad-based, authoritative and effective international peace conference.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the 10th Ministerial Conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum in Beijing, Xi decried the "tremendous sufferings" caused by the ongoing conflict, saying that China firmly supports the establishment of an independent State of Palestine that enjoys full sovereignty based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.

"War should not continue indefinitely. Justice should not be absent forever. Commitment to the two-state solution should not be wavered at will," he told a roomful of guests including the heads of state of Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as foreign ministers from other Arab League nations.

Xi also announced that China will host the second China-Arab States Summit in 2026, which he said will be another milestone in China-Arab relations. The first such summit was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in December 2022.

"We will, together with the Arab side, respect the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, the independent choice of every nation and the reality formed in history, and strive together for solutions to hot spot issues that uphold fairness and justice and sustain peace and security," he said.

To help ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and support post-conflict reconstruction, Xi announced that China will provide another 500 million yuan ($69 million) of humanitarian assistance, on top of the previous 100 million yuan. In addition, China will donate $3 million to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in support of its emergency humanitarian assistance to Gaza, he said.

China and Arab countries have witnessed leapfrog development in practical cooperation with win-win results over the past two decades since the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum was established in 2004 as a formal dialogue mechanism between China and Arab states.
