CCTV News, on April 30, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference, a reporter asked a question and said that the two factions of Fatah and Hamas in Palestine recently held consultations in Beijing on intra-Palestinian reconciliation.
Spokesman Lin Jian said that at the invitation of the Chinese side, representatives of the Palestinian national liberation movement Fatah and the Islamic resistance organization Hamas came to Beijing for consultations and conducted in-depth and frank dialogues on promoting reconciliation in Palestine.
The two sides highly appreciated China's firm support for the just cause of the Palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights, thanked China for its efforts to promote the strengthening of Palestinian internal unity, and reached agreement on the idea of the next step of dialogue.
At the last regular press conference on April 26, someone asked such a question, and the spokesman did not deny it, but he also did not explicitly affirm it. After reading it at the time, I said that there was no denial that it was true on such an occasion, and now it is clear that it is true.
In what context were the consultations taking place, how did they progress, and did they reach an agreement?
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian's answer should be very clear. The spokesman said: At the invitation of the Chinese side, representatives of the two Palestinian factions came to Beijing for consultations. The phrase "at the invitation of the Chinese side" reflects China's initiative in this diplomatic activity, and it can be said that it is an initiative to make a difference. "I came to Beijing for consultations a few days ago" shows that diplomatic activities have now come to an end. So how about the talks? The press spokesman's reply used such words to have an in-depth and frank dialogue, what do these words mean in diplomacy? I don't need to explain it, everyone understands it.
The first result is that the two sides have fully expressed their political will to achieve reconciliation through dialogue and consultation, and the two sides have fully expressed their political will to achieve reconciliation through dialogue and consultation, discussed many specific issues, made positive progress, and unanimously agreed to continue this process of dialogue and strive to achieve Palestinian unity and reunification at an early date.
First of all, both sides have expressed their willingness to reconcile, and they are willing to reconcile through dialogue and consultation. Secondly, there has been a lot of talk on specific issues, and positive progress has been made. Thirdly, it was agreed to continue this process of dialogue with a view to achieving Palestinian unity at an early date. In other words, the talks have not been completed this time, and the talks can be continued, so what is the attitude of the two sides towards the Chinese side? One is high appreciation, and the second is gratitude.
Of course, the last sentence of the spokesman's speech was also crucial, and he reached an agreement on the idea of the next step of dialogue. Reaching agreement on this point means that this process of dialogue will continue, which gives us the possibility of a process of dialogue that will eventually lead to national reconciliation.
