BEIJING (Sputnik) — All sides should comply with the previously adopted UN Security Council resolutions on Syria, including resolution 2254 which provided a roadmap for the Syrian peace process, he added.
"China is concerned about the escalation of the conflict…The cessation of hostilities is a key point for a political solution in Syria and also an important guarantee for improving the humanitarian situation and efficient fight against terrorism. We urge all sides to establish favorable conditions for ceasefire, relaunch peace talks and deliver humanitarian assistance," he said at a briefing.
Fighting in Aleppo intensified after the Syrian army declared an end to the week-long ceasefire on September 19, blaming militants for numerous violations that made the cessation of hostilities unreasonable.
