Pakistan's Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed says China is playing a proactive role in promoting peace in the Middle East.

MUSHAHID HUSSAIN SYED Pakistan's Senator "China's role is very proactive, very principled and very clear for peace.

And first of all China and Pakistan are on the same page. We already gave a 5 point plan which showed that both China and Pakistan see the situation through the lens of peace, harmony and coexistence.

And secondly, China has taken a principled position in the process of the United Nations Security Council where they vetoed a resolution that was 1 sided that showed China is being very even handed. And then China's leader President Xi Jinping hosted Prince Khalid, who is the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi of UAE. Then he talked to Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Then on this Iran issue also there's been constant communication.

So China is playing a very important role and it's upfront also, it's behind the scenes. Also, the purpose of China's role and Pakistan's role is the same. We are loyal to the objective. The objective is promoting peace between the two protagonists."
