The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: it is very important to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East and Gulf region. On 5 June, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference. A reporter asked that the commander of the Iranian navy recently announced that he would form a new naval alliance with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries, as well as Pakistan and India, to maintain regional stability, but the United States said this was unreasonable. How does China comment on this? Wang Wenbin said that maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East and Gulf region has a bearing on the well-being of countries and people in the region, and is essential to safeguarding world peace, promoting global economic development, and ensuring a stable supply of energy. China supports countries in the region to resolve their differences through dialogue and consultation and achieve good-neighborliness and friendship. We will support countries in the region to strengthen unity and self-improvement and firmly control the future and destiny in their own hands. As a good friend of regional countries, China will continue to play an active and constructive role in promoting regional peace and stability.
