CHINA is seriously concerned about the situation in the Middle East, President Hu Jintao told United States President George W. Bush yesterday.
In a phone conversation, Hu said he was deeply worried about the humanitarian crisis taking place in the Gaza Strip.
China called on all the parties concerned to cease military operations and armed conflicts, promote the relaxation of tension in the region and create conditions for a solution to the conflict by political means.
Hu and Bush talked about bilateral relations and major international issues of common concern.
The two leaders exchanged congratulations on achievements made in the development of bilateral relations since the forging of diplomatic ties between China and the US 30 years ago.
They expressed the hope that a series of events to mark the 30th anniversary would be successful.
Bush said that China and the US had cooperated well over the past 30 years - a fact that deserved congratulation.
President Hu agreed with Bush's positive remarks on Sino-US relations and hailed the US president's efforts to develop a constructive and cooperative Sino-US relationship.
China and the US, through their joint efforts, will surely be able to promote sound, stable, all-round and in-depth development of bilateral ties, Hu told the US president.
Bush told Hu that the US had to send Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte to China to mark the 30th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties instead of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Rice will have to deal with matters related to the current tensions in the Middle East, Bush said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said the Chinese side welcomed Negroponte to visit China.
