On November 4, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: Recently, Saudi National Security Adviser Eban and Iran's Supreme National Security Council Deputy Secretary Bagheri visited China at the same time. What is China's view on the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the situation in the Middle East and Gulf region? Mao Ning said that in the face of the current escalation of tension in the Middle East, China is willing to strengthen communication and dialogue with Saudi Arabia, Iran and other regional countries. The top priority is to prevent the Middle East war from restarting and harming the people of the region. China will continue to be guided by President Xi Jinping's series of initiatives to promote peace and security in the Middle East region, uphold an objective and impartial position, support the resolution of disputes between Iran and the US through negotiations, push for a political solution to the Yemeni issue, and help form a secure and comprehensive solution to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. We expect countries in the region to uphold the principles of mutual respect, good neighborliness and friendship, and work together to build a new common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable regional security structure to achieve long-term stability in the region.
