Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference on July 24. A reporter asked: Recently, the Houthis armed group in Yemen announced a maritime embargo on ships entering and leaving Saudi Arabia and attacked two Saudi oil tankers. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Lin Jian said that China is closely following the development of the Red Sea situation and believes that the sovereignty and safety of all countries in the region should be respected, and that the safety and smooth flow of international waterways should be protected together. China calls on all parties concerned to exercise restraint, continue to properly resolve conflicts and differences through dialogue and consultation, avoid actions that exacerbate antagonism, and push for the restoration of peace and stability in the Gulf region as soon as possible.
