“We welcome any initiatives involving dialogue that contribute to the achievement of peace and security in the Middle East,” RIA Novosti quotes the Permanent Representative.

He noted that China will be in cooperation with all parties on this issue.

The Russian side also offers the rejection of the permanent deployment of groups of extra-regional states in the Gulf countries, the creation of demilitarized zones, the establishment of hotlines, the exchange of information on the procurement of weapons and armed forces.

Earlier, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that the security of the Persian Gulf can provide regional powers without the involvement of foreign forces.
