Q: The UN Security Council said that it had an emergency meeting on alleged chemical attacks in Syria. What is China's position on the attacks? 

A: China's position on the issue of chemical weapons is consistent and clear. We oppose the use of chemical weapons under whatever circumstances and for whatever purposes by any country, organization or individual. No matter when and where chemical weapons are used, it is intolerable. China maintains that a comprehensive, objective and impartial investigation shall be carried out to reach a fact-based conclusion that can stand the test of time, and perpetrators must be brought to justice. 

　　叙利亚化武问题同政治解决叙利亚问题密切相关。中方支持安理会和禁化武组织继续作为处理叙利亚化武问题的主渠道发挥重要作用。我们希望有关各方本着建设性态度，协商寻求妥善解决方案，维护安理会的团结，并配合有关方面推进叙利亚政治进程的努力。 

　　问：据报道，当地时间4月4日，塞拉利昂国家选举委员会宣布，根据塞第二轮总统选举最终计票结果，比奥先生当选塞新一任总统。比奥于当日宣誓就职。请问中方对此有何评论？ 

The issue of chemical weapons in Syria and the political settlement of the Syrian issue are closely linked. China supports the UN Security Council and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in continuing to act as the main channels for addressing the use of chemical weapons in Syria. We hope that all relevant parties could reach a proper settlement to the issue with a constructive attitude and through consultations, safeguard the solidarity of the Security Council, and collaborate with the relevant parties to move forward the process of the political settlement of the Syrian issue.
