China has expressed concern over the growing conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
"Like the international community, China is highly concerned about the developments and expresses concern that the relevant event may intensify conflict in the region," said a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Tension between the two Muslim countries has been rising since Saudi Arabia executed a prominent Shi'ite cleric. In response, Iranians tried to attack Saudi diplomatic buildings in Iran. Yesterday (Sunday), Saudi Arabia announced that it is cutting diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic.
