China's efforts in solving Syrian crisis:

Constructive role in defusing the Syria crisis

As for the Syrian civil war, China has been pushing for its political resolution, insisting that the future of Syria should be decided by the Syrian people. China has actively participated in international mediation to draw the opposing parties in Syria to the negotiating table ever since the civil war broke out about five years ago.

More aid from China set for Syria

China announced on Thursday that it would extend an additional 40 million yuan ($6.18 million) in humanitarian aid to Syria. Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the announcement at a joint media briefing with visiting Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem, who will be in China through Saturday.

FM calls for representative, balanced, inclusive Syria talks

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday called for representative, balanced and inclusive Syria talks while attending the third ministerial-level meeting of the International Support Group for Syria in New York. All the opposition groups that support a political settlement and do not engage in extreme, terrorist activities should have the opportunity to participate in future Syria peace talks, Wang said.
