Chinese special envoy on the Middle East, Wu Sike, said China supported negotiation for Palestine-Israel "two-state" solution during his official visit to Palestine and Israel from last Tuesday to Friday.

He also said China supported Palestine's bid to seek full membership in the United Nations next month. At a meeting with Palestinian leaders in Ramalla, Palestine on Thursday, Wu Sike told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that China supports all efforts that contribute to breaking the current deadlock in the peace process and realizing a Palestinian State based on the "two-state" solution.

Talks with Israel on the terms of Palestinian statehood are at a stalemate. Palestinians have decided to seek full UN membership and international recognition of an independent Palestinian state covering the areas Israel occupied in the 1967 war.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas praised China's support for Palestine's bid and also thanked China for its consistent support for Palestinians' legitimate rights as regards founding a state based on the border of 1967.

He said Palestinians' efforts in that regard don't contradict the Mideast peace process and resumption of negotiations with Israel.

Wu said China is highly concerned about the situation in the Middle East, with the Palestinian issue remaining a core issue.

Wu Sike also met with Dan Meridor, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intelligence and Avigdor Lieberman, Israeli Foreign Minister, during his visit to Israel.

Wu expressed that China appreciated that both Palestine and Israel support negotiation strategy and wished the two nations continue their previous negotiation so as to solve the "two-state" conflict.

"The Chinese side wants to convey a message that we support to solve the Palestine-Israel conflict through negotiations,"said Wu.

As Wu fulfills his trip in Palestine and Israel, he will visit Egypt and France to meet officials from the Arab League and the European Union.
