China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has met with a Syrian National Council delegation led by Burhan Ghalioun, head of Syria's leading opposition political group.
Yang pointed out that UN-Arab League Envoy Kofi Annan's effort had created a practical solution and an important opportunity in the crisis. He said all parties in Syria should honor their commitments to the ceasefire, support and assist the UN observers' mission and create an environment friendly to an inclusive political process.
Ghalioun said the Syrian National Council advocates resolving the crisis with a political solution, and supports the six-point plan brokered by Kofi Annan. He also opposes outside interference and highly values China's role in advancing a solution. He thanked China for its humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people.
