Qin Gang said that China advocates that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries in the region should be respected; countries in the region should be encouraged to seek solutions to hotspot issues that conform to the regional realities, accommodate the interests of all parties and are accepted by all parties through dialogue and consultation; it's necessary to call for more development support for countries in the region to help them respond to food and energy security challenges and consolidate the foundation of regional development; and joint efforts should be made to crack down on terrorism in an unwavering way to prevent terrorist and extremist forces from proliferating by taking advantage of chaos. China calls on countries outside the region to respect the sovereignty of the Middle East countries and not to interfere in the internal affairs of countries in the region; to practice true multilateralism and not to impose unilateral bullying leading to conflicts; to respect the history, culture and traditions of the Middle East and not to drive a wedge in various civilizations, so as to inject positive energy into security and stability in the Middle East.
