Ministers from Arab and Islamic countries will visit China tomorrow on the first stop of a tour aimed at ending the war in Gaza, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said.

The tour will be the first step in carrying out decisions reached at a joint Arab and Islamic summit held in Riyadh this month, Prince Faisal said on the sidelines of a conference in Bahrain in comments posted by his ministry on the social media platform X.

“The first stop will be in China, then we will move to other capitals to convey a clear message that a ceasefire must be announced immediately, and let in aid,” the minister said.

“We have to work on ending this crisis and the war on Gaza as soon as possible,” he said.
