China-Pakistan Peace Proposal Seeks Stability in West Asia
The initiative calls for ceasefire, peace talks, civilian protection, secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and adherence to UN law amid a two-month Gulf conflict.
- On Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar issued a five-point initiative in Beijing aimed at resolving the West Asia conflict and securing the Strait of Hormuz.
- The conflict, now in its second month, prompted the 'Five-Point Initiative of China and Pakistan for Restoring Peace and Stability in the Gulf and Middle East Region,' demanding immediate cessation of hostilities and urgent peace talks.
- Addressing critical infrastructure, the plan calls for protecting 'peaceful nuclear infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants' near Bushehr while urging parties to 'protect the security of ships and crew members stranded' in the Strait.
- Calling for 'true multilateralism' and adherence to the United Nations Charter, the initiative seeks a comprehensive peace agreement; analysts question whether such demands are realistic during active hostilities.
- Beijing previously brokered the 2023 Iran-Saudi normalization deal but played little visible role in enforcing it, raising questions about its credibility as guarantor for this new framework involving Iran and the GCC.
