Chinese Premier Greets UN Conference in Support of Palestinians

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao sent a congratulatory message to the United Nations observance conference of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, which opened on Monday.  

"On the occasion of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, I wish to extend, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, my warm congratulations to the observance conference," Wen said in his message.

 

While pointing out that the question of Palestine is at the core of the Middle East issue, he said the ultimate goal of its settlement is to reconcile the Arab and Jewish nations, restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, and guarantee the common security, survival and development of all countries in the region.

 

"History shows that military means and violence could only deepen mutual animosity and hatred rather than help resolve the issue," Wen said.

 

As the Israeli-Palestinian situation is now at a crucial juncture, China appeals to all parties concerned to cooperate with the international community in the peacemaking efforts, and to seek a political solution to the Middle East issue through negotiations on the basis of the relevant UN resolutions and the principle of "land for peace," he said.

 

China stands ready to continue to work together with the international community for peace and stability in the Middle East, Wen added in the message.

 

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People falls on Nov. 29 every year.
