The current situation in Syria remains fragile, with ethnic tensions difficult to resolve, a grave security environment, and prominent humanitarian challenges. The Syrian people have suffered deeply from the ravages of war and urgently yearn for lasting peace. China sincerely hopes that Syria will restore peace and stability at the earliest possible date. China has carefully listened to the briefing by Director General Grossi on relevant developments. We support for the efforts made by the Director General and the Secretariat, and encourages the Syrian side to earnestly fulfill its safeguards obligations, strengthen communication and cooperation with the IAEA, and work toward the early and proper resolution of the relevant issues.
