BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday the Middle East situation is once again at the crucial crossroads of growing instability and the hope of peace.
Addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the annual parliamentary session, Wang said China's view is that the regional situation must be pushed forward in the right direction.
In doing so, countries concerned must maintain the international consensus on fighting terrorism, adhere to the right goal of seeking a political settlement of hot issues, and put the UN in the driver's seat in the Middle East peace process, he said.
