Home World China Sends Syrian Envoy China’s Foreign Ministry said it would send a senior diplomat to Syria for talks on Friday. by Reuters February 16, 2012 China’s Foreign Ministry said it would send a senior diplomat to Syria for talks on Friday, days after Beijing said the United Nations should tread carefully in the country or risk worsening violence in its 11-month crackdown on opposition groups. China, along with Russia, early this month blocked a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that backed an Arab plan urging Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to quit. Vice Foreign Minister Zhai Jun will travel to Syria on Friday and Saturday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said at a regular briefing on Thursday, adding that details for the visit were still being worked out. The Foreign Ministry said earlier this week that envoy Li Huaxin had an “extremely frank and useful” exchange about the situation in Syria on Monday when he met Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby in Cairo, who had criticised China for its veto.
