Chinese President Xi Jinping calls for a diplomatic solution to the Middle East crisis during talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Beijing. Xi says China supports a comprehensive ceasefire and resolving disputes through “political and diplomatic means,” while stressing that the sovereignty and security of regional countries, including Jordan, should be respected.
Xi also reiterates China’s position on the Palestinian issue, calling for a “comprehensive, just and lasting solution” and backing the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks based on the two-state solution. The talks take place against broader regional and international tensions, with Jordan balancing its ties to the United States alongside heightened confrontation involving Washington, Israel and Iran.
Both outlets report that China and Jordan sign agreements covering diplomacy, trade and supply chains. They also note that the sides call for restoring normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The coverage is largely aligned on Xi’s stated priorities and Jordan’s described regional role, with limited differences in emphasis.
