China welcomes the agreement reached at the Summit.
We hope that the agreement will be implemented in earnest and the Palestinians and the Israelis will put an immediate end to the conflicts and resume as soon as possible the peace talks for an early settlement of the Palestine issue, leading ultimately toward realization of peace and stability in the Middle East. President Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Government have on more than one occasion stated clear China's position on Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, which have been going on for days. China stands ready to join the rest of the international community to continue to work for the progress in the Middle East peace talks.
