Fairness and justice are fundamental to the shared values of all mankind, driving aspirations for peace and stability worldwide. The latest escalation in the Israel-Palestine conflict, erupting on October 7, has resulted in significant civilian casualties, sparking a humanitarian crisis that has drawn global attention.
From the perspective of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China is advocating for an immediate ceasefire and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Foreign Minister, stated, \"On the question of Palestine, China will continue to stand on the side of peace, on the side of justice, on the side of international law, on the side of shared aspirations of the majority of countries in the world, and the side of human conscience. China opposes and condemns all acts that harm civilians. The top priority is to achieve a ceasefire and stop the conflict as soon as possible.\"
In response to the international community's urgent call to maintain world peace and prevent further conflicts, China introduced the Global Security Initiative last year. This initiative outlines China's vision for promoting common security and maintaining global peace and stability. It emphasizes the idea that humanity forms an indivisible security community, advocating for comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security through dialogue and partnerships.
This year, China's proactive role was evident in mediating the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, stabilizing the tumultuous Gulf region. China's successful mediation not only resolved complex disputes but also brought prosperity and well-being to the region, earning widespread praise from the international community. These efforts highlight China's unwavering commitment to peace and its continuous search for solutions to longstanding conflicts like the Middle East dilemma.
