China backs Egyptian -Jordanian initiative

Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister expressed China's support for the Egyptian-Jordanian initiative that aimed at ending violence and resuming Palestinian-Israeli talks.

During his meeting with Egypt's Ambassador in Beijing Mohammed Noaaman Galal, the official expressed his country's support for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's efforts in the peace process.

The meeting dealt with the deteriorating situation in the region and the arbitrary Israeli measures that jeopardize peace and security in the entire world not only in the Middle East region.

Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement, expressing China's support for the initiative that aimed at putting an end to Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Foreign Ministry spokesman termed as 'constructive and positive" the initiative, expressing China's worry over Israeli storming of Palestinian self-rule areas again on Wednesday.

"China will continue efforts to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and resume negotiations,' the spokesman said.
