Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations in the Middle East. He made the remarks during a phone call with Qatar's Prime Minister and top diplomat Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Tuesday. Al Thani said Qatar has had to undertake necessary measures of self-defence, and expressed appreciation for China's fair and just position and its mediation efforts. Wang highlighted the prolonged conflict will only cause greater losses for all parties concerned. He lashed out at the US and Israel for initiating military operations against Iran without authorisation from the United Nations Security Council, stating such move clearly violated the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the basic norms governing international relations. Wang urged efforts toward a political solution and voiced support for Gulf nations in taking the future of the region in their own hands. He said China will continue to play a constructive role in easing tensions and restoring peace in its own way.
