China Refutes Reports About Military Involvement In Syrian Conflict - Govt Special Envoy

BEIJING (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th August, 2018) Media reports about the alleged Chinese military involvement in the Syrian conflict are speculations that provide false interpretation of the Chinese political course, Chinese Special Envoy for Syria Xie Xiaoyan said on Monday.

In early August, Syrian media reported that the Chinese servicemen were ready to fight terrorists in the province of Idlib and other parts of the country together with the Syrian troops.

�Recently, some media speculations that China is going to involve in the Syrian conflict emerged. That is a false picture of the Chinese policy. These Arab media, which issued the relevant material, later explained that China had no military presence in Syria. China is strongly advocating settlement of the conflict only by peaceful means � China has never sent its troops to Syria,� Xie told reporters.

He added that China was strongly opposing any form of terrorism and calling for the boost of the international anti-terror cooperation.�
