China open to Russian and UN proposals for solution

CHINA is open to proposals for an international conference or a contact group on Syria, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said yesterday.

Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said an international conference on Syria should become the "only framework" toward resolving the crisis and the only platform to implement UN Security Council resolutions. Meanwhile, Kofi Annan, joint United Nations and Arab League special envoy for Syria, proposed an international contact group to bring together key countries in a bid to end the Syrian conflict.

"China advocates the international community adhering to the general direction of seeking a political resolution to the Syrian conflict," Liu Weimin said at a regular news briefing.

He called on the international community to provide full support for Annan's mediation efforts and promote the implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions as well as Annan's six-point plan.

"China is willing to maintain contact with all relevant parties on the above proposals," he said. It will be open to a consensus among different parties in Syria through political dialogue and accepted by all parties and the international community.
