During the 23rd International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Chinese President Xi Jinping held a press interview on 4/6/2019 with the Russian media.

During the interview, the question was raised: “As the situation in Syria stabilizes, the Syrian government has repeatedly stated its willingness to cooperate with friendly countries to rebuild the war-damaged infrastructure.” Does China intend to participate in the reconstruction of Syria?

Answer:

“Syria is an old country with a long history and is of great importance in the Middle East, and Syria has gone through constant disturbances for several years that caused serious damage to the infrastructure and great suffering to the Syrian people. “The Syrian and Chinese people have historic friendship, and China is ready to participate in the reconstruction of Syria within its means and is striving to help the Syrian people resume production and restore normal life as soon as possible.”
