Beijing-Sana
China reaffirmed the need to respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Syria, pointing out that a political solution is the only way out of the crisis there.
Xinhua quoted Xie Xiaoyan, China's special envoy to Syria, as saying that China stresses the need to respect and protect Syria's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and that the Syrian people determine the future of their country on their own, explaining that a political settlement is the only realistic way out of the crisis in it.
He added ... that China once again calls for a solution to the crisis in Syria as soon as possible, pointing out that China, since the beginning of the crisis, has strengthened its call for dialogue to resolve the crisis in Syria and has submitted various initiatives and proposals, as well as provided emergency humanitarian aid and assistance to combat the emerging corona virus.
Xie criticized the imposition of blockade and unilateral sanctions on Syria by some countries, interfering in its internal affairs and politicizing humanitarian and refugee issues, which led to the exacerbation of the humanitarian situation there.
He said: These countries should ask themselves what historical responsibilities they must bear towards the humanitarian situation in Syria, calling on the international community to work and pressure to lift the siege and sanctions on the Syrian people.
