The Palestinian issue should neither be neglected nor forgotten, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said, adding that China hopes an upcoming foreign ministers' meeting in Paris will re-focus the attention of the international community on the issue.

"Currently, the conflict between Palestine and Israel continues and the peace talks are deadlocked. China is highly concerned and deeply worried about this," Hua told reporters during a regular press briefing on Monday.

"As a root cause of peace problems in the Middle East, the Palestinian issue should neither be neglected nor forgotten," Hua said. "And China hopes that the upcoming foreign ministers' meeting in Paris will re-focus the attention of the international community on the issue and help solve the problem."

Hua said that Foreign Minister Wang Yi will lead a delegation to attend the meeting and undertake efforts to promote the peace process in the Middle East.
