Third, an inclusive political process must be promoted, and equal and open dialogue should be started as soon as possible. Fourth, tiol reconciliation and unity must be achieved in Syria.

Filly, humanitarian assistance must be delivered to Syria and its neighbouring countries. In addition, the anti-terrorism situation in Syria should also be considered, Hong said. The spokesperson urged parties concerned to find a “middle way” that met Syria’s tiol conditions and the interests of all parties, to bring about a proper resolution. “Chi will continue to work with the intertiol community to strive for the settlement of the issue,” he said.
