During a recent meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping reiterated China’s commitment to supporting a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Xi emphasized the importance of renewing peace talks and advocated for the prompt establishment of an independent Palestinian state. He highlighted the necessity of a comprehensive ceasefire, ensuring civilian protection, providing ongoing humanitarian aid, and finding a political solution rooted in international law.
President Xi stressed the significance of upholding the principle that Palestinians should govern their own territories, including the management of the West Bank and the rebuilding efforts in Gaza. This stance underlines China’s long-standing position on the Middle Eastern conflict, focusing on a balanced and diplomatic resolution to longstanding issues in the region.
Aside from discussions on the Middle Eastern peace process, the meeting also served as a platform for advancing the strategic partnership between China and Jordan. The two leaders explored opportunities to enhance cooperation across various sectors, including trade, infrastructure, and transportation. They also focused on advancing digital technology, artificial intelligence, and green energy initiatives, which are seen as pivotal areas for future collaboration.
Following their discussions, China and Jordan formalized their intentions to deepen their bilateral ties by signing several cooperation agreements. These agreements are expected to bolster economic and technological exchanges between the two nations, further cementing their partnership and contributing to regional stability and development.
