Xi Jinping calls for establishment of Palestinian state

Chinese President Xi Jinping has said that Beijing is concerned about the conflict in the Middle East.

He said this conflict can be solved by the creation of a Palestinian state, Le Figaro reports.

"The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a subject of our concern. The fundamental solution is the creation of an independent Palestinian state," Xi wrote.

Xi also noted that history shows that "permanent instability" is mainly due to the non-implementation of UN resolutions, as well as the "erosion of the two-state principle and deviation from the peace process in the Middle East."
