Xi Tells Saudi Crown Prince Passage Through Hormuz 'Should Be Maintained': State Media
(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
AFP
Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping told Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince HRH Mohammed bin Salman in a phone call on Monday that "normal traffic" through the vital Strait of Hormuz "should be maintained", state media said.
“Normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz should be maintained, this is in the shared interests of regional countries and the international community,” Xi said, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
The Chinese leader has sought to position Beijing as a stable counterweight in the face of the US- and Israeli-led conflict.
China is a major trading partner of Gulf countries and the main buyer of Iranian oil, most of which passes through the Hormuz strait.
Xi also stressed in the call with the Saudi prince that China "advocates for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire", CCTV reported.
