UNITED NATIONS, July 10 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang called on Yemen's Houthis to stop attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea at a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday.

China expresses deep concern over the recent armed attacks on two cargo ships in the Red Sea and once again calls on the Houthis to respect the navigation rights of commercial vessels of all countries in the Red Sea in accordance with international law, refrain from attacking commercial vessels and ensure the safety of the Red Sea waterways, the Chinese diplomat said.

China is concerned about the latest exchange of attacks between the Houthis and Israel and the deteriorating situation, Geng Shuang said. “We call on all parties to exercise calm and restraint and refrain from actions that lead to escalation of tensions,” he said.

The Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the UN called on all parties to the conflict in Yemen to show political will, strengthen dialogue, gradually build mutual trust and create conditions for a final political settlement of the Yemeni crisis.

He also called on the international community to increase humanitarian aid to Yemen and help alleviate the humanitarian crisis on the ground.

According to Geng Shuang, the settlement of the problems in Yemen and the Red Sea is impossible without easing and de-escalating the overall situation in the region. “The war in Gaza must be stopped as soon as possible. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza must be stopped as soon as possible. The principle of “two states for two peoples” must be implemented as soon as possible,” he noted.

The US-led ceasefire between Israel and Iran must be respected, the Chinese diplomat added, saying the sovereignty of the state must be respected and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter must be upheld. –0–

BEIJING, July 10 (Xinhua) — China's courier sector handled more than 100 billion parcels as of July 9 this year, the State Post Administration said Thursday.

The department noted that the operational volume of shipments exceeded the 100 billion unit mark 35 days earlier than in 2024. This figure has exceeded 100 billion parcels for the fifth year in a row.

To improve the effectiveness of the trade-in program, the courier sector is working to provide more efficient and convenient services, the official concluded. -0-
