KUNMING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- China will continue to make efforts to rebuild peace between Thailand and Cambodia and is willing to offer humanitarian assistance to people in need in both countries, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Yuxi City, southwest China's Yunnan Province on Sunday.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand Sihasak Phuangketkeow.
Following the signing of a joint statement agreeing to a ceasefire, Cambodian and Thai foreign ministers are leading delegations to meet in Yunnan from Dec. 28 to 29 at the invitation of Wang.
Wang said as a friendly neighbor of both countries, China least wants to see Thailand and Cambodia come to war and most hopes to see the two countries restore their friendship. It is believed that as long as Thailand and Cambodia communicate on an equal footing and move forward together, there will be no insurmountable obstacles.
China will continue to support ASEAN in playing its due role and is willing to provide assistance to the ASEAN observation mission in monitoring the ceasefire, Wang added. ■
