Beijing: Expressing “grave concern” over a possible Western military strike on Syria, China today asked the US not to launch any “unilateral action” against the troubled country over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
“China is greatly concerned over relevant country may take unilateral action,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a media briefing here today. “Any action taken by the international community should abide by the principle of the UN charter and basic norms of the international relations so as to avoid the complicating the Syrian issue and bring more disasters to the middle eastern region,” he said. “We support UN carrying professional objective and impartial investigation. Any action should be based on the results of the investigation. The result should tell us whether the chemical weapon has been used and who used it. Based on that results the international community can take actions,” he said.
Hong said the US side has spoken about its evidence on the chemical weapons used in Syria. But he reiterated that there should not be any unilateral action. ” China is opposed to who ever use the chemical weapons. We support UN in carrying out independent, impartial objective and professional investigations,” he said. (PTI)
