UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Fu Cong, speaking at the Security Council on Wednesday, called on the Syrian transitional government to fulfill its obligations to fight terrorism.
The prolonged turmoil in Syria has provided space for the spread of terrorism, he stated. Foreign terrorists have taken advantage of the chaos in Syria to gain strength, which not only poses a direct threat to Syria's security but also seriously undermines peace and stability in the region, the diplomat added.
China urges the Syrian transitional government, which has repeatedly stated that Syria will not pose a threat to any country, to take measures to combat all terrorist organizations listed by the Security Council, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, Fu Cong emphasized.
When adjusting sanctions related to Syria, the Security Council must fully take into account the counter-terrorism and security situation in that country, as well as the complex consequences that any changes could lead to, he said.
China calls on Israel to stop military operations against Syria and immediately withdraw from Syrian territory, the diplomat said, adding that all parties should continue to provide constructive support and assistance and refrain from exploiting the situation for their own interests.
According to him, the key to resolving the Syrian problem lies in promoting an inclusive political process.
China will continue to work with the international community to help Syria ensure its security, stability and development as soon as possible and embark on a development path suited to its national conditions, Fu Cong added. –0–
