At a recent UN Security Council meeting, a Chinese envoy called on Syrian interim authorities to initiate an inclusive political transition. Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, stressed that transparency and accountability are key to regaining trust in Syria's future.
The envoyās remarks came after Syrian interim authorities announced a one-month independent investigation into the indiscriminate killings in the coastal areas, where nearly 1,500 peopleāwith more than 1,000 civiliansālost their lives since March 6, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Fu Cong condemned the brutal deaths, urging that the investigation be conducted in a transparent and responsible manner.
Expressing concern over rising terrorist threats, Fu emphasized the need to target all Security Council-listed terrorist organizations, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, also known as the Turkistan Islamic Party. He urged the interim authorities to fulfill their counter-terrorism obligations and engage in broad dialogue with all sectors, underscoring the international community's role in assessing Syria's political transition.
Fu also reiterated that Syria's sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity must be respected. He condemned recent airstrikes on Syrian territory and called for the immediate withdrawal of these forces, highlighting that lasting peace in Syria relies on a genuine, inclusive political process and decisive action against terrorism.
This appeal for an inclusive transition is being closely monitored by global citizens, business leaders, and young changemakers who are eager to witness concrete steps toward stability and peace in the region. As discussions continue, the international community remains hopeful that inclusive measures and robust anti-terrorism actions will pave the way for a secure future in Syria.
