Wang emphasised that the \u201ctwo-state solution\u201d is the right path to a resolution and said the immediate priority is to fully open access to the Gaza Strip so a humanitarian \u201ccatastrophe\u201d is not allowed to spread.<\/p>\n

Wang added that China is willing to work with the international community to push all parties to return to dialogue as soon as possible and seek a political settlement.<\/p>\n

Wang is attending the Seventh Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, as the special representative of President Xi Jinping, China\u2019s state news agency Xinhua reported.<\/p>\n

China urges new Middle East framework<\/h2>\n

In September, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Cairo<\/a> for the first time in a decade and called on Middle East countries to oppose external influence and consider reshaping the region\u2019s security order.<\/p>\n

Xi\u2019s rare visit arrived as Beijing seeks to expand its influence in the region amid the US-Israel war on Iran<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The talks covered the US-Israel war on Iran, with both presidents urging \u201cdiplomatic solutions\u201d to reach a \u201ccomprehensive agreement to end the war\u201d, according to a statement from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi\u2019s spokesperson.<\/p>\n

In March, China criticised<\/a> the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, with Beijing demanding<\/a> an immediate halt to the joint attacks. Wang told his Israeli counterpart, Gideon Saar, that the attack on Iran came as negotiations between Washington and Tehran had \u201cmade significant progress, including addressing Israel\u2019s security concerns\u201d, China\u2019s foreign ministry said in a statement following the start of the war.<\/p>\n

China was Iran\u2019s largest trading partner<\/a>, buying up to 90 percent of its oil, according to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission. In 2021, Beijing signed a 25-year \u201ccomprehensive strategic partnership agreement\u201d with Tehran.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Beijing has spent the past decade cultivating closer ties with Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and remains a top trade partner of both the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
