Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged $100 million in aid to Palestine to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.
Xi made the announcement during talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, who wrapped up his three-day state visit to China on Friday.
“China will provide $100 million of assistance to Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and support its recovery and reconstruction,” said Xi during a meeting held on Thursday in Beijing, according to a statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
He said that the world today is “far from tranquil,” as complicated international political disputes and conflicts continue across various regions.
“China and France will work together for the realization of a comprehensive, just, and lasting solution to the Palestinian question at an early date,” said Xi.
