Chinese Envoy: China will expand its participation in political efforts to stop hostilities in Syria

Beijing, SANA- Chinese Special Envoy for Syria, Ambassador Xie Xiaoyan announced that his country will expand its participation in the political efforts to stop hostilities in Syria.

According to Associated Press, the ambassador said that China could be a “widely valued and trusted” player in the multilateral talks.

“China has expressed repeatedly that the issue can only be resolved through political settlement and that military means will lead nowhere,” Xie said, adding that “we call on the United States and Russia to make efforts to resume their consultation on the cease-fire.”

“We should fight terrorism indiscriminately, wherever it exists. We need to particularly fight the terrorist organizations listed by the U.N. including the Islamic State, al-Nusra and the East Turkistan Islamic Movement,” he affirmed.
