Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation on Thursday with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, mainly exchanging views on the Libyan issue.
Shoukry said Egypt pays close attention to the current situation in Libya and calls on all parties there to implement the Cairo Declaration, immediately cease fire and conduct political dialogue, in a bid to prevent a new round of unrest.
The Egyptian side proposes to convene a foreign ministers' meeting on Libya to seek a comprehensive political solution, he said.
For his part, Wang said China positively views the important role of Egypt in maintaining regional peace and stability.
China believes that solving the Libyan issue should stick to political ways and the principle of Libyan-led and Libyan-owned, and that both parties to the conflict should immediately cease fire and advance the three-track negotiations on politics, economy and military in parallel.
The parties concerned should support the United Nations as the main channel for mediation and make regional organizations such as the Arab League and the African Union better play their unique roles at the same time, Wang said.
The cross-border movement of foreign terrorists should also be prevented to prevent Libya from becoming a hotbed of terrorism again, Wang added.
Wang said China is willing to maintain close communication and coordination with all concerned parties and play a constructive role in advancing a ceasefire and restarting peace talks.
The two sides also exchanged views on bilateral relations.
