Chinese Foreign Minister Mr. Wang Yi paid a swift visit to Syria yesterday being the top Chinese official to visit the country since the beginning of the US-led war of terror against the Syrian people in early 2011, the visit was short but packed and very fruitful.
China is taking the challenge of the US hegemony to a new level now after it stood up against NATO member states spearheaded by the US at the United Nations Security Council in defending Syria, several times, the Chinese for their first time ever used their veto power at the UNSC in foreign policy and for something not directly relating to their national security and it was an unprecedented move at the Security Council as well with the double Russian - Chinese vetos in the face of draft resolutions inked by NATO member states to repeat Libya and Iraq in Syria.
The visit to Syria is part of a regional visit for the Chinese head of diplomacy, it coincided with the Syrian President Bashar Assad taking the oath for a new presidential term starting yesterday and for 7 years, China stood firmly by Syria's side in the international arena rejecting foreign intervention in Syria's internal affairs and providing much-needed aid when really needed. Mr. Wang Yi met the Syrian president to convey his government's congratulations for the president who led his country to victory over the war of terror.
The Chinese minister conveyed his country's support for the Syrian people and inked an important agreement in economic and technical cooperation that will lead to include Syria in the Chinese mega Belt and Road project, the fruits will come soon in the infrastructure rebuilding, this agreement comes in direct defiance of the US and western sanctions imposed on the Syrian people.
