China’s top diplomat Wang Yi told his Lebanese counterpart, Abdallah Bou Habib, that Beijing strongly supports it in safeguarding its sovereignty and security and strongly condemns Israel’s recent attacks.
“We pay close attention to developments in the region, especially the recent explosion of communications equipment in Lebanon, and firmly oppose indiscriminate attacks against civilians,” China’s Foreign Ministry quoted Yi as saying, after the pair met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday.
Wang said China would stand on the “side of justice and on the side of Arab brothers, including Lebanon”, according to the statement.
