Syria has promised that it will not allow any entity to use its territory to undermine China's interests, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press briefing in Beijing on Thursday.
Guo made the statements in response to a media inquiry regarding a statement from the Syrian side that the Chinese government has not yet formally requested the Syrian government to repatriate the militants of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM).
"The ETIM is a terrorist organization listed by the UN Security Council and designated by the Chinese government in accordance with law. Syria has pledged to not allow any entity to use the Syrian territory to engage in activities that harm China's security, sovereignty, and interests," Guo said.
