Wang Yi, member of the CPC Political Bureau and director of the Central Foreign
Affairs Office, met in Beijing on Oct. 13 with UAE presidential envoy for China
Haledun. Wang said the Middle East is undergoing profound change, conflicts are
protracting and spillovers are weighing on regional security and development. He
called for peace, dialogue and fairness rather than war, confrontation or
domination. China said it will continue to advance President Xi’s peace and
stability initiatives and to provide a constructive role toward a comprehensive
ceasefire, political settlement and early resumption of negotiations to seek
durable peace.
