Beijing has reaffirmed its support to the strategic autonomy of Middle East countries and opposition to the foreign interference in the internal affairs of countries in the region.
Foreign Minister Qin Gang told a news conference on the sidelines of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress that China fully respects Middle East countries as the masters of their own affairs.
"We have no intention to fill a so-called vacuum and we will not build exclusive circles," he said. "In the Middle East, China will be a facilitator for peace and stability, a cooperative partner for development and prosperity, and an enabler for building strength through unity."
