China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Israeli President Isaac Herzog during a meeting in Azerbaijan that Israel should stop and reverse its 'forced establishment' of West Bank settlements, according to a statement from China's foreign ministry on Friday.
Wang said China has consistently viewed the Palestinian question as the greatest historical injustice of this century. He emphasised that the two-state solution is the right path to resolution and called for full access to the Gaza Strip to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe from spreading. Wang stated that China is willing to work with the international community to push all parties to return to dialogue and seek a political settlement.
Wang is attending the Seventh Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia in Baku, Azerbaijan, as the special representative of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
