Palestinians themselves should govern Palestine, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng said at the United Nations General Assembly, stressing the need for a negotiated and lasting solution to the conflict in the Middle East.
Han said unilateral military action against another country in violation of the UN Charter and international law was unacceptable, urging countries to resolve disputes through dialogue. He also stressed that global peace depends on major powers respecting international rules.
Addressing the situation in the Middle East, Han called for respect for the sovereignty and security of Gulf countries and emphasized the need to keep global supply chains stable to support international trade.
On the future of Palestine and Gaza, he said Palestinians should govern their own affairs. Development in the West Bank and reconstruction of war-ravaged Gaza should be based on this principle, he said.
Han also called for a return to the two-state solution as the only viable path to a lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On other global crises, Han said China was continuing efforts to promote peace in Ukraine. He also called for the immediate lifting of what he described as unjust sanctions and threats against Cuba.
Addressing the rapid development of artificial intelligence, Han urged the international community to ensure that technology is used for the benefit of humanity and to bridge the digital divide by creating equal opportunities for people worldwide.
