State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi expounded on Chinas role in resolving hot-spot issues in the Middle East at the press conference of the two sessions. Wang Yi said that for a long time security and development have been two major problems that plagued the Middle East countries. As a strategic partner of Middle Eastern countries China has always pursued two supports that is to support Middle Eastern countries to resolve regional security issues through unity and cooperation and to support the people of the Middle East to independently explore their own development paths.Wang Yi said that over the past year or so China has successively put forward a five-point proposal for realizing security and stability in the Middle East a four-point proposal for a political settlement of the Syrian issue and a three-point approach to implementing the two-state solution between Palestine and Israel. Realize regional security and common security. At the same time China has joined hands with other countries in the Middle East to fight the epidemic and promote cooperation in vaccine production and drug research and development. Accelerating the construction of a free trade zone between China and the Gulf countries and launching a comprehensive cooperation agreement between China and Iran has provided a positive boost to the development of the Middle East.Wang Yi said that China has always played a constructive role in the Middle East and we have never sought any geopolitical self-interest nor have any intention to fill the so-called power vacuum. In the past few decades it is precisely because of the competition of foreign powers to intervene in the affairs of the Middle East which has caused harm to the Middle East and the people of the Middle East again and again. Today in the 21st century this situation should not continue. The power to maintain the security and development of the Middle East should be completely handed over to the people of the Middle East and the Middle East countries should be supported to seek peace through unity stability through self-improvement and development through cooperation so as to truly achieve long-term peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
