Zhang will exchange views on the Syrian crisis, including China's six-point statement for a political resolution to the crisis, with regional organizations such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Arab League (AL), the spokesman said.

His visit is intended to push for the fair, peaceful and proper settlement of the Syrian crisis, Liu said.
