China concerned over Middle East escalation

CHINA said yesterday it was concerned about the prospect of an intensification of conflict in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with rival regional power Iran.

“Like the international community, China is highly concerned about the developments and expresses concern that the relevant event may intensify conflict in the region,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular news briefing in Beijing, referring to the escalation in tension.

The safety and dignity of diplomatic personnel should be guaranteed, Hua said.

“We hope the relevant parties can maintain calm and restraint, properly resolve their differences through dialog and consultation and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability,” she said.
