China Calls for Stability in Syria After Assad Regime Collapse

Beijing urges respect for Syria's sovereignty and warns against extremist exploitation following the sudden fall of Assad's government.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the need to prevent Syria from further division and a renewed refugee crisis during talks with Egypt's foreign minister.
The collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime, following a rapid offensive led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, ends decades of authoritarian rule in Syria.
Wang Yi called for international efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in Syria and maintain regional stability in the Middle East.
China and Egypt agreed on promoting peace through negotiations, stressing the importance of respecting Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Beijing reaffirmed its commitment to Middle Eastern stability, citing its role in brokering last year's Saudi-Iran peace deal and welcoming the recent Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
