On January 9, 2024, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at the Symposium on the International Situation and China's Foreign Relations in 2023 that following the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, President Xi Jinping put forward four points about what must be done, four things the international community must do together and three observations of the crisis. Last year, he personally engaged with leaders of various countries and multilateral institutions, including the United Nations, in in-depth communication and made it clear that China is determined to facilitate peace talks and has no interests in seeing the crisis continue. China released China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, and engaged extensively with relevant parties through the special envoy of the Chinese government. China has remained unequivocal in advocating respect for the sovereignty of all countries and rejecting the Cold War mentality, and made active efforts for resuming peace talks and restoring peace as China built up the conditions for the cessation of hostilities and peace talks.

Wang Yi said that the Palestine-Israel conflict bears on the overall situation in the Middle East. President Xi Jinping presented China's position on many occasions. He noted that the imperatives are to end hostilities, prevent the conflict from spilling over, effectively protect civilians and increase humanitarian assistance. He emphasized that the only viable way lies in implementing the two-state solution and pushing for a comprehensive, just and sustainable solution to the question of Palestine at an early date. Working in unity with Arab and Islamic countries, China held a high-level meeting on the Palestine-Israel issue at the U.N. Security Council, sent its special envoy to work on the ground and promote peace talks, and increased humanitarian assistance and extend a helping hand to the people in Gaza at a perilous time. As the rotating president of the U.N. Security Council, China pushed the UNSC to adopt a resolution—the first of its kind since the conflict broke out. China also released China's Position Paper on Resolving the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict. China's contribution has been highly commended by the international community.

Wang Yi pointed out that China supports Afghanistan in building an inclusive political framework, adopting moderate policies, and pursuing peace and reconstruction. Through China's mediation efforts, conflict is giving way to reconciliation in northern Myanmar, showcasing China's firm commitment to maintaining peace and stability in border areas. China has consistently promoted the political settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and the Iranian nuclear issue, and has become a much-needed constructive force for safeguarding world peace and tranquility.
