BEIJING (AFP) — China said it had no plans yet to receive Palestinian foreign minister Mahmud al-Zahar, two days after the Hamas politician announced he would visit the Asian giant.
"As for the issue of foreign minister Zahar leading a Hamas delegation to China, as far as we know, China at the present stage does not have such a plan yet," the Chinese foreign ministry said in statement faxed to AFP.
Zahar, regarded as a Hamas hawk and firebrand, said on Tuesday he was planning to tour countries in East Asia, "starting with China," in late May.
"We are going to visit China and we have let the ambassador know," Zahar told reporters in Gaza after meeting the Chinese envoy to the Palestinian territories, Yang Weiguo.
