CAIRO, January 21, 16 (WAFA) – Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday said the Palestinian cause shouldn’t be marginalized and Palestinians’ rights must be given back in order to guarantee calm and security in the region.
Jinping delivered a speech at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo with the presence of Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby, during which Jinping called on the international community to support the peace process and establish a viable Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He reaffirmed his country’s commitment to enhance ties with Arab countries on the political, economic and cultural level as well as efforts to counter terrorism and extreme groups.
Elaraby said the challenges and dangerous crisis facing the region prompt Arab countries to look forward China’s support concerning the Palestinian cause, which is considered the central cause for Arab countries.
The Arab League represented by Elaraby expressed appreciation for China’s firm stance in supporting the Palestinian cause and hoped to see more regional and international efforts to end the Israeli occupation and establish a Palestinian state.
