UNITED NATIONS, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese envoy on Tuesday asked the international community to resolutely fight terrorism in Syria in order to create security conditions for the advancement of the political process.

As terrorism poses serious threats to the security and stability of Syria, the fight against the scourge is an important aspect of settling the Syrian crisis, said Ma Zhaoxu, China's permanent representative to the United Nations.

Both the northwestern and northeastern parts of Syria are facing severe challenges. Terrorist organizations are having their way in Idlib, and individual terrorist fighters run amok in many other parts of the country, he told the Security Council.

The international community, taking into account the different trends and features of terrorist activities in different regions, should strengthen coordination and cooperation, unify standards, fight all the terrorist organizations designated by the Security Council so as to consolidate the achievements of counterterrorism and continuously improve the security environment in Syria, he said.
