China appreciates Arab countries’ support for one-China principle: spokesman

China highly appreciates the Arab countries' support for the one-China principle, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday, in commenting on the Arab League's recent decision to write adherence to the one-China principle into a resolution.

At the 33rd Ordinary Session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level which opened in Bahrain's capital Manama on Thursday, the Arab League member states all agreed to write adherence to the one-China principle into a resolution of the Council of the League of Arab States.

"China highly appreciates the decision of the Arab countries to write adherence to the one-China principle into a resolution of the Council of the League of Arab States. This shows that the Arab countries firmly defend the Charter of the United Nations and the basic norms governing international relations, and once again proves that the one-China principle is a right thing and has the overwhelming support of the international community," said Wang Wenbin, the spokesman, at a press conference in Beijing.

"China and the Arab countries are good friends and partners. China is willing to work with the Arab countries to continue firmly rendering each other support on issues that bear on each other's core interests and major concerns, defending fairness and justice, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation and bringing China-Arab relations to new heights," he said.
