US-Iran conflict: Chinese President Xi Jinping calls for respect for the sovereignty of all countries in the West Asian Gulf region

When Xi Jinping met with visiting Crown Prince Khalid of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, he said that the safety of personnel, facilities and institutions in various countries must be effectively guaranteed.

He also advocated building a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security architecture for the Gulf of West Asia.

When talking about adhering to the principle of international rule of law, Xi Jinping pointed out that the authority of the international rule of law must be maintained to prevent the world from falling back into the law of the jungle.

He said that development and security must be coordinated and balanced. All parties should work together to create a good environment for the development of countries in the West Asian Gulf region.

This is the first time Xi Jinping has commented on the current conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, which has also affected several Gulf countries, including the United Arab Emirates.

The Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates is also the first West Asian leader to visit China after the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran broke out.

China, which has close strategic ties with Iran, has criticized U.S. attacks on Iran and has been calling for a cessation of hostilities.

China called for unhindered passage through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to block it.

The Strait of Hormuz is an important international trade channel for goods and energy. Maintaining regional security and stability and ensuring smooth traffic are in the common interest of the international community, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press conference here on Monday.

The root cause of the chaos in the Strait of Hormuz is military conflict. To solve the problem, the conflict must stop as soon as possible. All parties need to remain calm and exercise restraint. China will continue to play a constructive role.
