Originally published

The Chinese Special Envoy on the Middle East, Wang Shijie, has stressed his country's firm stance towards the Middle East issue which is "restoring the legitimate Arab rights in order to achieve stability and peace in the world."

In a press conference held in Damascus on Sunday, the Chinese Envoy underlined the necessity for realizing a solution to the Arab -Israeli conflict according to international laws and resolutions, "Madrid Terms Of Reference" and "land-for-peace formula."

He made it clear that his visit to Syria comes in the framework of a round to the region to push the peace process forward.

"The stances of Syria and China are similar concerning the Middle East and international issues," Wang added.

He said that Syria is a state that has her sovereignty, confirming Chinese support to Syria's stances of restoring her rights and liberating her territories according to international law.

"We believe that peace will not be comprehensive unless it achieves a just and fair solution to the Arab - Israeli conflict, particularly regarding the occupied Golan Heights," he concluded.
