He expressed confidence that the crises in Syria and Yemen have political solutions.
Beijing does not interfere in Syria’s internal affairs and it is the Syrian people who should decide the future of their country, he stressed.
Thus, China has reaffirmed its stance over the future of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and the resolution of the Syrian crisis. Moscow has repeatedly advocated the same approach to the issue.
Xiaosheng urged the international community, especially the UN, to contribute to the peaceful settlement and national reconciliation in Syria and Yemen.
China was satisfied with the result of the first Vienna meeting on the Syrian crisis and will attend the next round of talks, he added.
According to Xiaosheng, China wants to be a significant player in the Middle East, including in resolving the Palestinian issue in coordination with all sides of the talks.
