Bridging the Gap: Chinese Envoy Urges Global Unity to Aid Syria
Amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria, China’s voice is calling out for collective action! 🌍❤️ On Thursday, Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, made a heartfelt plea at the UN Security Council briefing.
“We urge all parties to actively cooperate to facilitate aid deliveries,” Geng emphasized, highlighting the effective operation of border crossings for humanitarian assistance. 🚚🤝
He stressed the importance of scaling up humanitarian efforts: “The international community should increase its support, providing adequate and unearmarked financial aid to early recovery projects throughout Syria.” 📈💰
Geng didn't hold back on addressing the challenges hindering Syria's recovery. He called for an immediate end to unilateral sanctions and resource plundering, urging foreign forces to cease their illegal military presence in Syria. ✋🚫
In light of the recent Arab League foreign ministers' meeting, which reaffirmed commitment to Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, Geng expressed optimism. “Support from regional countries can give new impetus to the political settlement of the Syrian issue,” he said. 🌟🕊️
He also underscored the need for a Syrian-led, Syrian-owned approach, encouraging dialogue and consultation to find a solution acceptable to all parties. “Terrorism remains a persistent threat,” Geng noted, welcoming Syria's efforts to fight terrorism and maintain stability. 🛡️⚖️
As tensions rise in the Middle East, Geng voiced deep concern over Israel's frequent airstrikes in Syria, urging all parties to exercise restraint. “Preventing the spread of conflict is crucial,” he stated. 🕊️🔥
He called on the international community to double down on efforts to manage the conflict in Gaza, leveraging an unconditional Ramadan ceasefire as a starting point toward lasting peace. ✨☪️
It's clear that collective action and unity are needed now more than ever to bring relief and hope to the people of Syria. Let's stand together for peace! ✌️🌈
