BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) -- China welcomes all efforts conducive to the end of the conflict, and commends Pakistan for facilitating the temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran and for playing an impartial and balanced mediating role, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

Guo made the remarks at a regular press briefing after the U.S. side reportedly said that the peace talks with Iran will happen in the next two days in Pakistan.

The immediate priority is to prevent a return to war by all means, preserve the hard-won ceasefire momentum, and stay committed to resolving disputes through political and diplomatic channels, Guo said.

He went on to say that on Tuesday, China put forward a four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, namely adherence to the principles of peaceful coexistence, national sovereignty, international rule of law, and a balanced approach to development and security.

"The proposal represents China's consistent stance and efforts to promote peace, bring an end to the conflict, and advocate dialogue for resolving differences," said Guo.

"China stands ready to work with the international community to continue to contribute to the early restoration of peace and stability to the Gulf and Middle East region," he added.
