China on Friday called on the parties concerned to ensure the Syrian political talks go ahead on Jan. 25, as scheduled.

"Parties concerned should continue to support the mediation efforts of the UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura, and promote positive progress of the talks," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei told a routine press briefing.

China will continue to play a constructive role in facilitating the peace talks, he added.

The UN envoy said on Wednesday that he and his team will continue working hard to start the intra-Syrian peace talks in Geneva on Jan. 25.

After meeting with representatives from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, the special envoy told reporters that the officials would press for immediate action in support of the efforts in the coming few days.
