Russian and Chinese parliaments have called to speed up the long-overdue conference on Syria’s peace. Parliamentary foreign policy assemblies released a joint statement today denouncing any possibility of a foreign interference in the conflict in Syria, according to Itar Tass.
On Monday, Russian upper-house Speaker Mikhail Margelov reported that a delegation of China’s National Assembly representatives had met Russian lawmakers of the country’s Federal Assembly.
Chinese and Russian MPs said in the statement, which was unveiled on the heels of the gathering, they hoped for sooner peace talks on Syria, stressing they were open for a compromise that would put an end to the suffering of the Syrian people and stave off other dramatic conflicts in the region.
