Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun expressed China's support for the early realization of peace in Syria and for developing a national reconstruction plan through inclusive dialogue on Tuesday in Beijing.
Guo was responding at a regular press briefing on an inquiry about an announcement by Syria's foreign minister, who said his government wanted to strengthen relations with China when he met the Chinese ambassador to the United Nations in New York.
"The people of China and Syria have long enjoyed traditional friendship. China supports the early realization of peace in Syria and the development of a national reconstruction plan that aligns with the will of the Syrian people through inclusive dialogue. China hopes that Syria firmly opposes all forms of terrorism and extremism," Guo said.
