Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese foreign minister, will go to New York to preside over a high-level UN Security Council meeting on the Palestinian-Israeli issue on November 29, China's Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

As the rotating president of the UN Security Council for November, China hopes that by holding the meeting, all parties can have in-depth exchanges to build up consensus and take further concrete steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, realize ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, protect civilians and ultimately promote a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question through the two-state solution, said the ministry's spokesperson Wang Wenbin at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
