China urges international efforts to solve Darfur issue

Liu told a regular press conference that Liu Guijin, the Chinese government's special representative for Darfur, had just made a fruitful visit to Sudan.

During his visit from Feb. 24 to 27, Liu conferred with leaders and officials from the Sudanese government, and officials from Darfur region. Liu visited Britain from Feb. 21 to 23.

Both Britain and Sudan had applauded China's positive role in the Darfur issue and hoped that China would play a more important role, Liu said.

The resolution of the developing and complicated issue should not only depend on China's efforts, Liu said.

The international community had a responsibility to push the peace process.

Liu said the international community should make efforts to persuade the concerned sides in the region join the peace process.
