China believes that it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation of the international community in the transfer of terrorism suspects and the exchange of intelligence information for a productive fight against terrorism in the Middle East, Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong said, speaking at the Middle East Security Forum in Beijing.
"A comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy is a guarantee of strengthening security in the Middle East," the Chinese official said. - "Terrorism is a tumor that destroys the health of the region and harms the whole world. The international community needs to unite and follow the planned course until the end until the threat is completely eliminated."
According to Xiaodong, "it is very important to deprive terrorist and extremist forces of the chance to take advantage of the existing regional instability to sow panic or regroup and form new bases."
"We need to listen to the needs and concerns of regional countries, take concrete steps to help them increase their capabilities to fight terrorism," the diplomat explained. "We need to take an approach to address both symptoms and root causes, depriving terrorist financing and strengthening practical cooperation on the transfer of terrorism suspects, border controls and intelligence sharing."
