He advocates for a two-state solution, building international consensus, and achieving a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement.

China’s proposals to the UN Security Council include implementing a comprehensive ceasefire, protecting civilians, ensuring humanitarian assistance, enhancing diplomatic mediation, and seeking a political settlement based on the two-state solution.
