At the request of Russia, the United Nations Security Council convened on Monday for a closed-door meeting to address the rapidly escalating situation in Syria. Prior to the meeting, several council members shared their nations' positions, emphasizing the urgency of a political resolution to the crisis.
Fu Cong, China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, stressed the importance of stabilizing Syria as soon as possible.
"We are following the situation very closely and we want to see the situation stabilize as soon as possible. And we do hope that an inclusive political process can be initiated as soon as possible. And the factions and parties in Syria should take the interests of the people as their priority," Fu stated.
In addition to China's concerns, James Kariuki, the United Kingdom’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, highlighted the significant diplomatic efforts underway. He underscored the importance of collaboration among key global and regional actors. Kariuki emphasized that these efforts are crucial for supporting the Syrian people’s aspirations for a better future.
"All of these things require a lot of actors, so there's been a huge amount of diplomacy over the weekend with phone calls and meetings. So I think there's a lot of diplomacy going on. It needs to include the Big Five, it needs to include countries of the region. Ultimately, it's about Syrian people and getting behind them and their aspirations for a better future," Kariuki explained.
