The world "must act urgently" to stem the conflict in Gaza, China's top diplomat said Monday during a meeting with officials from Arab and Muslim majority nations, as Beijing steps up its efforts to play a role in establishing ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry welcomed counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the Palestinian National Authority, and Indonesia, as well as the head of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for a two-day visit to Beijing.
Visiting ministers also voiced their own strong calls for an end to the conflict.
Countries represented in the delegation hoped to cooperate with China and "all countries" that are "responsible and appreciate the seriousness of the situation".
