Military pressure is not the way to solve tensions in the Middle East and the Gulf region, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday, dialogue and negotiation is.
Wang made the remarks while meeting with Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Beijing.
The continuous tensions in the Middle East and the Gulf region have been severely undermining the security of countries across the region and continuing to disrupt the stability of energy, shipping, and supply chains, Wang stressed.
The sovereignty and security of regional countries should be fully respected, the legitimate concerns of all parties should be properly addressed, and the fundamental principles of international law and basic norms governing international relations must be faithfully upheld, he said.
