When meeting with Qatar Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani on Thursday evening, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said China will continue promoting peace and dialogue in accordance with the needs of countries in the Middle East to further push for political settlements of the Gulf crisis. "There are no selfish interests behind China's addressing the Middle East issue, and it completely acts out of the well-being of regional countries and their people," Lu said. Xue Qingguo, a professor of Arab studies at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said the recent China visits showcase China's impartial role in regional issues as well as China's good ties with the Middle Eastern countries.
