STORYLINE:
Hong Kong leader John Lee called for "peace and stability" in the Middle East on Tuesday during a weekly news conference.
Lee called on the international community to jointly safeguard global peace, saying he backed the idea of resolving conflicts through diplomatic means.
Hong Kong’s government raised a “black” outbound travel alert for Israel and Iran last week and advised its residents not to travel to both countries, said Lee.
The city’s immigration department received enquiries from 21 Hong Kong residents from Israel or Iran, and 20 of them left the countries safely.
The department would maintain close contact with the remaining resident.
