China expects Syria to resolve differences and maintain national stability through political dialogue, which is the right way to properly handle the current situation in the Middle East, Jiang said.
The European Union on Monday strengthened restrictive measures on the Syrian authorities, and its president Bashar al-Assad and high level officials appeared on the sanction list.
