China’s foreign ministry on Monday urged “all relevant parties” in Syria to “find a political resolution” after Islamist-led rebels seized control of Damascus and ended the decades-long rule of Bashar al-Assad.
\nBeijing has strengthened ties with Syria in recent years, and Assad visited China last year in a rare state visit outside the Middle East since the civil war began in 2011.<\/p>\n

Asked about his ouster on Monday, a spokeswoman for China’s foreign ministry said Beijing was “closely watching developments in Syria”.<\/p>\n

“We hope all relevant parties will proceed on the basis of the Syrian people’s fundamental interests and find a political resolution as soon as possible to restore stability in the country,” Mao Ning said at a regular news briefing.<\/p>\n

Mao did not directly answer a question about whether China had been in contact with Assad, who has reportedly fled to Russia with his family.<\/p>\n

During his 2023 visit to China, Assad and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced a “strategic partnership” between their countries.<\/p>\n

Beijing’s embassy in Damascus on Thursday advised Chinese citizens to leave Syria “as soon as possible” as the rebels swept through the country.<\/p>\n

The foreign ministry on Sunday urged Syria’s new rulers to “take practical measures to ensure the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
