‘China to play positive role in Syria‘

Upon arrival at the Syrian capital, Damascus, Zhai said he would try to help find a “proper solution to the Syrian issue.”

The special envoy of the Chinese government met with President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday after consulting with other Syrian officials on Friday.

Syrian Assistant Foreign Minister Ahmad Arnous said Zhai’s visit to Damascus is of “great importance,” adding that Beijing has adopted “a just and equitable stance toward the Syrian issue.”

After vetoing an anti-Syria resolution in the UN Security Council earlier this month, China and Russia said that the current crisis in the Arab country should be resolved through political channels.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and many people have lost their lives in the violence.

The West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of killing protesters. But Damascus blames “outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
