New York, The US strikes on Iraq and Syria blatantly violate the sovereignty of these two countries, China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun has said.
‘The recent US strikes on several targets in Syria and Iraq resulted in a large number of casualties, and such actions constitute a blatant violation of the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Syria and Iraq,’ the Chinese diplomat was quoted by TASS as saying during a session of the Security Council held Monday at a request of Russia.
He added: ‘History has proven time and again that military means are not the solution and that excessive use of force will only lead to a greater crisis.’
A few days ago, the US occupation forces launched an aerial attack on a number of sites and towns in Syria and Iraq near the Syrian-Iraqi border, which led to the martyrdom of a number of civilians and soldiers and the injury of others, in addition to causing significant damage to public and private property.
