International and Arabic
Beijing, August 30 (QNA) - Chinese petroleum enterprises have left
Syria as a result of local turmoil, a senior official of China's
Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said.
Chinese aid projects in Syria cannot proceed following the
enterprises' evacuation, Xinhua news quoted Zhong Manying, director
of MOC's department of Western Asian and African affairs as saying.
The bilateral trade between China and Syria has been harmed since
the troubles intensified, and Chinese companies and citizens have
been advised to leave the country for now, Zhong said.
Chinese trade with West Asia and North Africa has increased,
despite the recent instability in many areas, Zhong added. (QNA)
