The Chinese military is to step up personnel training and humanitarian assistance to Syria, state-run Xinhua news agency reported, in a public display of support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The agreement was reached during a 14 August meeting in Damascus between Rear Admiral Guan Youfei, director of China's Office for International Military Co-operation at the Central Military Commission, and Syria's Defence Minister, Lieutenant General Fahd Jasim Al-Furayj.
"They reached [a] consensus on improving personnel training, and the Chinese military offering humanitarian aid to Syria," Xinhua reported on 16 August without elaborating.
Rear Adm Guan, who also headed the Chinese military delegation to Syria, was quoted as saying that "the Chinese and Syrian militaries traditionally have a friendly relationship, and the Chinese military is willing to keep strengthening exchanges and cooperation with the Syrian military".
