On October 22, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: On October 21, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Djiboutian Foreign Minister Omar jointly issued the “Joint Press Release on Maintaining Peace and Stability in the Horn of Africa and the Safety of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Waterways”. Can the speaker provide further information on the situation? In response, Mao Ning said that yesterday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Djiboutian Foreign Minister Omar in Beijing to have an in-depth exchange of views on the situation in the Horn of Africa and the safety of the Red Sea waterway. Both sides agree that the recent rise in the Red Sea situation poses a serious threat to the global economy, particularly the economic activities of countries in the Horn of Africa region, and has exacerbated security issues such as piracy and terrorism. The two sides do not want regional tension to spill further in the direction of the Red Sea. They call on all parties to abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, strictly abide by the basic rules of international law, and avoid the escalation of regional tension through dialogue and diplomacy.
