All relevant parties should work to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East as soon as possible and prevent further escalation, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Tuesday during a meeting with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on the sidelines of the second China-Central Asia summit in Astana, Kazakhstan.
He said China was deeply concerned that Israel's military strikes on Iran had led to a sudden escalation of tensions in the Middle East, adding that China opposed any action that violated the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of other countries.
Military conflicts are not a solution to problems, and the escalation of the regional situation does not meet the common interests of the international community, the Chinese leader noted.
China is ready to work with all parties to play a constructive role in restoring peace and stability in the Middle East, he said.
