Syria's foreign minister will visit China this week, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday, amid a renewed bid by Beijing to play a more active role in finding an end to conflict in the Middle East. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem will be in China from December 23 to December 26 and will meet his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing.
Wang over the weekend invited Syrian government and opposition figures to come to China as Beijing looks to ways to help with the peace process. China has played host to both Syrian government and opposition figures before, though it remains a peripheral diplomatic player in the crisis.
