China's top UN diplomat, Fu Cong, is rallying the world to help Syria tackle its biggest challenges—from terrorism to humanitarian crises—as the country stands at a critical crossroads. Here's why this matters for global peace
Political Process Must Be Syrian-Led
Fu stressed that any solution must respect Syria's sovereignty, letting its people decide their future. A planned national dialogue was postponed, but China urges all parties to prioritize \"long-term interests\" over division.
Zero Tolerance for Terrorism
Fu called out reports of Syria granting military ranks to foreign fighters linked to groups like the Turkistan Islamic Party. China demands Syria crack down on terror threats and prevent cross-border risks.
16 Million Syrians Need Aid NOW
With winter looming, Fu urged faster UN-led relief efforts and an end to sanctions that \"aggravate suffering.\" Over half the population relies on aid to survive.
Golan Heights: Occupied Land, Says UN
China reaffirmed that Israel's occupation of Syria's Golan Heights violates international law, backing UN resolutions for its return.
Fu closed by emphasizing China's commitment to \"friendship, not interference\"—a stance resonating with Global South nations seeking non-Western diplomacy models.
