Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has been speaking to his Arab nation counterparts on Syria
China backs international efforts to send humanitarian aid to Syria, Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has said.
He was speaking to the head of the Arab League, Nabil Elaraby, over the phone.
Mr Yang said China was willing to work with the Arab nations for ''a peaceful and proper settlement of the Syria issue'', the official Xinhua news agency reported.
The comments came after France said the UN Security Council would work on a draft resolution on aid for Syria.
The United States has drafted an outline for a new resolution seeking access for humanitarian aid workers and an end to violence, United Nations envoys said on Tuesday.
The Chinese state media report on Wednesday did not mention the announcement made in Paris.
It said Mr Yang spoke to Mr Elaraby on Tuesday and had also had conversations with counterparts in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria early this week.
Mr Yang said that it was ''an urgent task'' for opposing sides in Syria to halt violence in order to begin ''an inclusive political dialogue''.
"The international community should create favourable conditions in this regard and provide humanitarian aid to Syria," Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying.
On 4 February China and Russia blocked a UN resolution backing an Arab plan condemning the crackdown and calling on Mr Assad to step down.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week called that veto "despicable" - comments the Chinese foreign ministry said were not acceptable.
More than 7,500 people have died in Syria since security forces launched a crackdown on dissent last March, a senior UN official said on Tuesday.
