- Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani welcomed China’s stance on Israeli violations
LONDON: Asaad Al-Shaibani, Syria’s foreign minister, received a delegation from China headed by the ambassador to Syria, Shi Hongwei.
Shaibani welcomed China’s stance on the continuing Israeli violations of Syria’s sovereignty in the southern region of the country, the SANA agency reported on Thursday.
The Chinese ambassador affirmed his country’s respect for Syria’s territorial integrity and independence, as well as its non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. He highlighted China’s backing for Syria during its post-civil war transition.
Israel has continued its bombing campaign in Syria even after the ousting of Bashar Assad, whose regime came to an end last year after a rebel advance forced him to flee to Russia.
An Israeli attack this week on the Syrian village of Kuwayya in the southern Daraa province led to the death of at least six civilians.
Shaibani and Hongwei expressed their willingness to enhance cooperation and achieve prosperity, progress and peace between both countries, SANA added.
