Call for fast action on Syria cease-fire

The resolution on the Syria issue that was passed unanimously by the UN Security Council deserves "implementation at an early date" by all parties, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday.

The minister made the comment at a joint news conference in Berlin after the first China-Germany Diplomacy and Security Strategy Dialogue.

The United Nations resolution, which was passed 15-0 on Friday, calls for elections to be held in Syria within the next 18 months and lays out the political groundwork needed to end the civil war.
