China News Agency, Beijing, July 15. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a video meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Migdad on the 15th.
Wang Yi expressed that the Chinese side is willing to work with the Syrian side to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, promote the sustained, stable and healthy development of China-Syria relations, and will continue to speak up for Syria to safeguard its sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national dignity, and support Syria in improving relations with its neighbors. I wish Syria an early restoration of peace and stability and an early return to the big Arab League family.
Wang Yi said that the Syrian people are not afraid of power, firmly defend their national interests, and always stand in the Middle East, demonstrating their national tenacity and perseverance.
The political settlement of the Syrian issue should follow the principle of "Syrian-owned and Syrian-led", and the Syrian people should independently determine the country's future.
The international community should provide Syria with humanitarian assistance without political strings attached to help Syria recover and rebuild.
Migdad wished the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China a complete success, and expressed his belief that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the Communist Party of China will lead the Chinese people to make greater progress and successfully achieve the second centenary goal.
Congratulations on the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.
The Syrian side firmly supports China in safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and firmly opposes the interference of external forces in China's internal affairs.
The rumors about Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet spread by the US and the West will be self-defeating.
Miqdad said that the global development initiative and global security initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping will open up broad prospects for world peace and development cooperation, and the Syrian side firmly supports and is willing to actively participate in it.
China has always adhered to a rational and just position, helping small and medium-sized countries to develop together, and playing a positive role in promoting world multi-polarization and human development and progress.
With more help, justice will prevail.
Syria is willing to strengthen coordination with China, firmly support multilateralism, and keep the world away from hegemonic powers and share peace, security and stability.
Wang Yi said that in this world, there should be less hegemony and more cooperation, less unilateral actions and more multilateralism. There should be no more wars, but only lasting peace.
China firmly supports the people of the Middle East in independently exploring the development path, and supports the countries in the Middle East to solve regional security issues through unity and self-improvement. We believe that our brothers and sisters in the Middle East have the ability and wisdom to maintain the overall situation of peace and stability and solve the problems left over from history.
The U.S. and the West should correct the old problems of the past. They should not arbitrarily point fingers, interfere in Middle East affairs, and try to transform the region with their own standards.
We should truly respect the sovereignty of countries in the region, and do things that are conducive to the peaceful development of the region based on the needs of the people in the region.
Wang Yi stressed that the Palestinian issue is the core of the Middle East issue and should not be forgotten by the international community, let alone marginalized.
The plight of the Palestinian people should not continue.
China is willing to strengthen coordination with all parties to push the Palestinian issue back into the priority position of the international agenda.
