Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized China's commitment to supporting Syria's path to peace and reconstruction during a press conference in Beijing on Friday. Speaking alongside Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Wang called for ‘inclusive dialogue’ to shape Syria’s future, aligning with the UN Security Council’s Resolution 2254.
‘Syrian-led, Syrian-owned’: Wang stressed that peace efforts must prioritize local leadership, opposing external interference. \"We respect the choice of the Syrian people,\" he said, highlighting China’s long-standing policy of non-interference in internal affairs.
Ending Sanctions: The minister urged the international community to lift unilateral sanctions against Syria, citing their role in worsening humanitarian crises. \"All countries should extend a helping hand,\" he added, advocating for unity in rebuilding efforts.
Middle East Stability: Wang linked Syria’s recovery to broader regional peace, calling for immediate ceasefires and political settlements across conflict zones.
\"Self-determination is key,\" he stated, rejecting foreign intervention as a solution.
With Syria’s civil war entering its 14th year, China’s stance positions it as a vocal advocate for multilateral diplomacy—a move resonating with global youth pushing for collaborative solutions.
