Xi Jinping calls for Israel-Iran ceasefire
Xi Jinping calls for Israel-Iran ceasefire President Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin "strongly condemn Israel's actions". File photo: Reuters President Xi Jinping on Thursday called for all parties but "especially Israel" to stop hostilities in a phone call with Russia's Vladimir Putin. "Parties to the conflict, especially Israel, should cease hostilities as soon as possible to prevent a cyclical escalation and resolutely avoid the spillover of the war," Xi said, according to Xinhua News Agency. Xi said a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was the "top priority" during the call. "Promoting a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities is the top priority. Armed force is not the correct way to resolve international disputes," Xi said according to Xinhua. The Kremlin said both leaders "strongly condemn Israel's actions, which violate the UN Charter and other norms of international law". "Both Moscow and Beijing fundamentally believe that there is no military solution to the current situation and issues related to Iran's nuclear programme," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters.

Advertisement The country's State Department said on Wednesday (US time) that it was once again processing visas for academic, vocational and exchange students. Appointment slots at the US consulate in Hong Kong for such visas quickly became available following the announcement. Washington's back-and-forth stance on foreign students has left Hong Kong hopefuls stuck in limbo. One such hopeful, Mandy*, said the recent shifts in the country's policy were a 'betrayal' of America's long-standing image as a beacon of education and opportunity. Advertisement 'For many, this delay … [meant] putting their dreams on pause or even changing course entirely,' the local secondary school student said.
