RAMALLAH, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) — The Palestinian leadership wants to see a demilitarized Palestinian state that includes the Gaza Strip, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said.

He made the statement during a meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul at the presidential headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

M. Abbas stressed that the current priority is an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, ensuring access for humanitarian aid to stop the “war of starvation as a weapon” and the release of hostages and prisoners.

He noted the need for the State of Palestine to assume full responsibility for the Gaza Strip with the support of Arab countries and the international community, as well as the need for a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops.

The Palestinian president also called on Israel to cease settlement activity in the West Bank, stop annexation attempts, end “settlement terrorism,” and return confiscated Palestinian funds.

M. Abbas confirmed his readiness to hold general elections, in which political forces and individuals who do not adhere to the program and obligations of the Palestine Liberation Organization, international legitimacy and the principle of “one authority, one law and one legitimate army” will not be allowed to participate.

Y. Wadeful, for his part, according to WAFA, stressed the importance of the Palestinian state assuming responsibility for administering the Gaza Strip after the end of the war, since it is the only legitimate entity representing the interests of all Palestinians, and it is absolutely necessary that it contribute to the reconstruction of Gaza.

The German Foreign Minister expressed his country's readiness to provide the necessary support and assistance to the Palestinian National Authority in its reconstruction efforts.

In addition, the German diplomat called on Israel to release the Palestinian assets it had seized, noting that these funds are the right of the Palestinians and that their continued retention poses a threat to stability. –0–

MINSK, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) — History has already proven and continues to prove that the Chinese army has always been a staunch defender, builder and contributor to global security and world peace, Defense Attaché at the Chinese Embassy in Belarus Liu Zhe said on Thursday during a ceremonial event to mark the 98th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA).

He noted that the world has now entered a new period of turbulent change, with global peace and security facing unprecedentedly serious challenges. “Faced with the question of what kind of security concept the world needs and how countries can achieve common security, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Security Initiative, emphasizing the need to adhere to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, providing a Chinese approach to building a balanced, effective and sustainable international security architecture,” Liu Zhe noted.

He stressed that the PLA is committed to implementing the Global Security Initiative with concrete actions, actively providing the international community with a public security plan, including peacekeeping operations, ocean escort missions, international disaster relief and humanitarian assistance.

"China firmly adheres to the path of peaceful development and consistently pursues a defensive national policy. Since the founding of the PRC, the Chinese army has never initiated a single conflict or invaded an inch of foreign territory. Over the past three years, China's defense spending has grown steadily at 7.2 percent. At the same time, the share of military spending in the country's GDP has remained below 1.5 percent for many years, which is below the world average," Liu Zhe concluded. -0-

BEIJING, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) — China hopes the Paraguayan government can make the right choice regarding Taiwan that meets the fundamental and long-term national interests of Paraguay and its people, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Friday.

The Chinese diplomat made the remarks at a regular departmental press briefing, commenting at a journalist's request on reports that Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies (lower house) Vice Speaker Hugo Meza called for a national debate on recognizing mainland China and cutting ties with Taiwan, saying his country was "wasting its time" with the island.

“We have heard similar voices on many occasions, and this position reflects the firm will of the overwhelming majority of the Paraguayan people,” Guo Jiakun said.

He noted that in recent years, more and more people in Paraguay have come to realize that Paraguay can no longer remain an “outsider” in the international community, “turning its back” on China.

"We hope that the Paraguayan government will seriously listen to these calls and make the right choice that truly serves the fundamental and long-term interests of Paraguay and its people," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

“We welcome more Paraguayan friends to visit China to see its development first-hand, experience the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese civilization, and gain a true understanding of the country,” Guo Jiakun added. –0–
