On April 9, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. When answering questions about the situation in the Middle East, Mao Ning said that China has always advocated a ceasefire and an end to war as soon as possible, resolving disputes through political and diplomatic channels, and ultimately achieving long-term peace and stability in the Middle East and the Gulf region. It is hoped that all parties will properly resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation, and China will continue to make efforts to ease the situation and quell the war.
