Qin Gang Meets with Palestinian Foreign Minister Maliki on the Question of Palestine
On June 13, 2023, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with Palestinian Foreign Minister Maliki in Beijing, who accompanied Palestinian President Abbas on his visit to China.
Qin Gang stated that China and Pakistan are good friends and partners. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, both sides have firmly supported each other politically, made positive progress in cooperation in various fields, and the friendship between the two peoples has continued to deepen. President Abbas is the first Arab head of state received by China this year, fully reflecting the special friendship between China and Pakistan and China's support for the just cause of Palestine. I believe that the two heads of state will make top-level designs for the development of bilateral relations, clarify strategic directions, and promote traditional friendly relations between the two countries to a new level. China is willing to closely cooperate with Pakistan to ensure the complete success of this visit.
Qin Gang pointed out that the situation in the Middle East is undergoing profound changes, and strengthening strategic autonomy and enhancing unity and cooperation is the aspiration and trend of the people. China attaches great importance to the Palestinian issue and has always firmly supported the just cause of restoring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. It will continue to support the correct direction of peace talks and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to solving the Palestinian issue.
