Chinese President Xi Jinping stated on Saturday at the BRICS Leaders' Meeting in New Delhi that the complex evolution of the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region, with conflicts causing severe losses to the people in the region, is not in the common interest of the international community. He emphasized that all relevant parties should adhere to the direction of political solutions, promote a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, and focus on addressing the root causes of the problem by implementing the "two-state solution" with Israel. China is Iran's largest trading partner and energy export customer.
