China has proposed convening an international conference to find a long-term resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and to establish an independent Palestinian state.

Fu Tsung, China’s permanent representative to the UN, made this announcement, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

At a UN Security Council meeting addressing the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Fu Tsung highlighted that recent talks among Palestinian factions in Beijing had achieved a key consensus, advancing the goal of Palestinian self-governance. China strongly supports the creation of an independent Palestinian state and advocates for a more inclusive and effective international peace conference to set a timeline and roadmap for implementing the two-state solution.

On July 23, China Central Television reported that the PRC authorities provided a venue for Palestine to hold reconciliation consultations in Beijing on July 21-23.

Representatives of Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad and 11 other groups met in Beijing and agreed to establish a Palestinian "National Unity Government".

The talks between representatives of Palestinian factions ended with the signing of a declaration on ending division and strengthening unity.
