China’s representative to the European Union has warned that US and British military operations in the Red Sea are exacerbating problems in the region and worsening global freight traffic.
‘Their actions will only add to the problem. Commercial ships cannot pass safely or be protected,” said Fu Kong, Director General of the Arms Control Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On Wednesday morning, the US military claimed that its forces had destroyed two anti-ship missiles in Yemen that were ready to be launched into the southern Red Sea. China’s response comes in the context of this.
More than 500 cargo ships connecting the US and Europe to Asia are reported to have avoided the Red Sea. This has delayed the movement of goods and raised the costs to a great extent.
At the same time, Houthi leader Mohammed Al Bukhaiti stated yesterday that Russian and Chinese ships can sail safely through the Red Sea. All other countries, including Russia and China, have no problem with shipping through the Red Sea.
It is our duty to ensure the safe passage of such vessels. Because free shipping is very important to our country. However, he also stated that the attack on the ships related to Israel will continue.
