As Assad regime falls, China urges Syria to ensure safety of Chinese nationals

China is monitoring developments in Syria closely and hopes the country returns to stability soon, the foreign ministry in Beijing said on Sunday after Syrian rebels declared the end of the Bashar al-Assad regime.

“We urge relevant parties in Syria to take firm measures to ensure the safety of Chinese organisations and personnel in Syria,” the ministry said.

It said the embassy had been helping Chinese nationals to leave Syria and offering guidance on safety.

The ministry said the embassy in Damascus remained open and would continue to help Chinese citizens in need.
