In a historic diplomatic move, high-ranking officials from Arab and Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, Indonesia, the Palestinian Authority, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, converged in Beijing to meet with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi. Their mission? To call for an immediate cease-fire in war-ravaged Gaza and advocate for the unimpeded flow of crucial humanitarian aid into the beleaguered Palestinian enclave.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, expressing gratitude for the diplomats choosing Beijing as their starting point, emphasized the deep bond between China and Arab/Islamic nations. “China is a good friend and brother of Arab and Islamic countries,” Wang stated, underscoring China’s longstanding commitment to defending the legitimate rights of these nations and steadfast support for the just cause of the Palestinian people.
The delegation’s visit marks the initial leg of a global tour across capitals, aiming to garner support for ending hostilities in Gaza. The meeting in Beijing served as a platform for collaborative discussions on diplomatic solutions to the crisis.
Notably, China’s stance as a supporter of the Palestinian cause has been unwavering, with Beijing consistently condemning Israel’s settlements in occupied territories. However, the absence of public condemnation for the initial Hamas attack on October 7 has sparked interest, especially in contrast to the position taken by the United States and other nations labeling it as “an act of terrorism.”
