On July 23, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference. A Chinese and Arab TV reporter asked a question. Recently, the US is sending additional military equipment such as aircraft carriers and fighter jets to the Middle East, and an all-out war against Iran may resume in the next few days. Many countries have issued tips to be careful when traveling to the Middle East. What comments does the Chinese side have on the escalation of the situation in the Middle East? Are contacts maintained with all parties to the conflict? Lin Jian said that China is deeply concerned about the current escalation of the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. The results of the negotiations were hard to come by. A resurgence of war is not in the interests of either party. The sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of regional countries should be respected and maintained. The parties should maintain calm and restraint, cease hostilities, resume contacts and dialogue, insist on resolving disputes through political and diplomatic channels, and achieve a comprehensive and lasting cease-fire as soon as possible. Lin Jian said that China is ready to continue to uphold the spirit of President Xi Jinping's four-point proposition, further commit to stopping the war and promoting peace, and make unremitting efforts to slow down the situation and restore regional peace.
