Beijing, April 14 (QNA) - Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward on Tuesday a four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in West Asia, when meeting with Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Beijing.

Xi called for adherence to the principle of peaceful coexistence. It is imperative to promote the building of a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security architecture for West Asia and the Gulf region, he noted. 

He urged adherence to the principle of national sovereignty. He said the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of countries in West Asia and the Gulf region should be fully respected, and the safety of personnel, facilities and institutions of all countries should be effectively safeguarded. 

On adherence to the principle of international rule of law, Xi said the authority of international rule of law should be upheld to prevent the world from falling back into the law of the jungle. 

He said development and security should be coordinated. All parties should work together to create a favorable environment for the development of countries in West Asia and the Gulf region. 

On the other hand, the Chinese President said during his meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who is on an official visit to China, that China and Spain should strengthen cooperation to oppose a return of the world to "the law of the jungle." 

Noting the world today is in turmoil, confronted with the contest between the rule of law and the rule of power, Xi called on both China and Spain to jointly defend true multilateralism. 

For its part, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said that Spain opposes a "new Cold War," decoupling and severing of supply chains, and supports Europe and China in enhancing communication, mutual understanding and cooperation. (QNA)
