Beijing: China has joined the New York Declaration on the peaceful settlement of the Question of Palestine and the implementation of a two-state solution, a Chinese Foreign Ministry official announced on Friday.

“The Palestinian question is at the core of the Middle East issue, and to implement the two-state solution is the only viable solution,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiankun told reporters in Beijing.

“China agreed to join the New York Declaration, which is in line with our consistent position on the Palestinian question, which is now at a crucial juncture. We support all efforts that are conducive to the political settlement of the question,” he said.

“We will continue to work with the international community to make real, unremitting efforts towards the end of the fighting in Gaza, de-escalation of the humanitarian crisis, implementation of the two-state solution, and the ultimate comprehensive, just, and lasting resolution of the question,” he added.
