Leaders have begun to trickle into the Chinese capital for tomorrow’s forum.
BEIJING: China prepared today to host representatives of 130 countries for a forum that will be overshadowed by the Israel-Gaza war, as an increasingly assertive Beijing is asked to help de-escalate the violence.
Israel declared war on the Islamist group after waves of its fighters broke through the heavily fortified border on Oct 7, shooting, stabbing and burning to death more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians. “ should listen earnestly to the calls of the international community and the UN secretary general, and cease its collective punishment of the people of Gaza,” Wang said yesterday, in what is the strongest stance China has expressed so far on the conflict.
Niva Yau, a non-resident fellow with the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub, told AFP the BRI summit would allow Beijing to frame attendance as a gesture of support for its position. Today Russia’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov flew into Beijing and within hours held talks with China’s foreign minister Wang Yi.
