Chinese Foreign Ministry Condemns US Wars in Middle East, Aimed at Protecting Washington’s Private Interests

Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said that the American wars in the Middle East are only aimed at protecting Washington’s own interests, and not to ensure stability and security in the region as it claims.

“How many wars have the US launched in the Middle East over the past decades? How much damage has it done? How many troubles has the peoples of the Middle East done? And is it all to ensure security in the Middle East? Not only does the US approach not support stability and development, but vice versa immerses the region in endless turmoil and poverty”, he said in an interview with Reuters.

The Minister stressed that the United States “in reality only protects its own interests, and does not benefit the countries of the Middle East”.

At the same time, China, said Wang Yi, is making every effort to contribute to security and stability in the Middle East in accordance with UN resolutions and the wishes of the countries of this region.
