In response to media reports that Arab countries on Tuesday held a summit in Cairo, Egypt, on the Palestinian issue and proposed a Gaza post-war recovery and reconstruction plan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday that China supports the efforts of Egypt and other Arab countries to promote the continuous and effective implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, advance humanitarian rescue in Gaza, and restore security and stability in the region. 

China also supports the post-war governance plan for Gaza that is recognized by the Palestinian people and has consensus among Arab countries. The post-war governance of Gaza should uphold the principle of "the Palestinians governing Palestine," be aligned with the two-State solution, so as to ultimately realize the peaceful coexistence and common development of Palestine and Israel and ensure long-term peace and stability in the Middle East, he said.
