Chinese President Xi Jinping and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, called for the "concrete implementation" of a two-state solution in Israel and "condemned" Israel's policy of settlement-building in the West Bank.
The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to promoting a political settlement of the Iran nuclear issue in a joint statement published by Chinese state media on Tuesday.
Xi is on a two-day visit to France as part of his first trip in five years to Europe, where he has been pressed by European leaders on trade tensions and Ukraine.
