According to Xinhua News Agency, the head of Chinese diplomacy stressed to the North American side the importance of continuing the positive impact of the San Francisco summit and the consensus reached between the two leaders.
On the Taiwan issue, he called on the United States not to interfere in the Asian giant’s internal affairs and not to support separatist forces on the island.
During the phone call, which Xinhua said was at Blinken’s request, Wang called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict as soon as possible.
“At the intersection of war and peace, major countries must adhere to justice and equity, maintain objectivity and impartiality, show calm and rationality, make every effort to de-escalate the situation and avoid a major humanitarian crisis,” he stressed.
The minister added that any solution to the current crisis in Gaza must consider a two-state solution, while “the agreement on the future of Palestine must reflect the will of the Palestinian people.”
Bilateral relations have deteriorated sharply due to the economic war against China, disagreements over the conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, and US interference in domestic affairs, such as the Taiwan issue.
Presidents Xi Jinping and Joe Biden recently held a historic meeting in which both sides expressed their determination to forge more stable relations based on cooperation, mutual respect and shared successes.
