On November 20, 2023, Vice President Han Zheng had a group meeting with the delegation of Arab-Islamic foreign ministers led by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud in Beijing. The foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and Indonesia, and the secretary general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation were present.

Han Zheng said that China highly appreciates the peace efforts and the call for justice at the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit and supports the joint ministerial follow-up committee to play a greater role. China is deeply concerned about the extremely grave humanitarian situation in Gaza at present and is speeding up emergency supplies and cash assistance to Gaza. As the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month, China is willing to work with Arab and Islamic countries to promote the full implementation of the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council and make unremitting efforts to realize a ceasefire, ease the humanitarian situation, and return to the two-state solution.

Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and others thanked China for its leadership in promoting the adoption of important resolutions by the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Arab and Islamic countries highly appreciate China's adherence to principles and justice and hope to work with China to push for an immediate ceasefire, increase humanitarian assistance, and earnestly implement the two-state solution.
