China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for a larger, more authoritative Israeli-Palestinian peace conference and a timetable for a two-state solution. Speaking after talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in Cairo at the weekend, Mr Wang said the international community should “listen” carefully to the legitimate concerns in the Middle East. “China calls for the convening of a larger-scale, more authoritative and more effective international peace conference, the formulation of a specific timetable and road map for the implementation of the ‘two-state solution’, and support for the prompt resumption of Israel-Palestinian peace talks,” he said.
