China: OPCW must be neutral and objective on Syria

China renewed its call on the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to maintain neutrality, objectivity and independence with regard to the chemical file in Syria, affirming its firm position that dialogue and cooperation are the correct approach to dealing with this file.

“We hope that the Technical Secretariat will adhere to the technical nature, uphold the spirit of impartiality, objectivity and independence in performing its duty and facilitate a return of attribution to the framework of the convention,” Xinhua quoted China’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations GengShuang as saying in a briefing to the UN Security Council on Monday.
