China tells France facts on Syria a precondition for action
Determining the facts should be a precondition for taking any action in Syria, China's foreign minister said on Friday in a phone call with his French counterpart.
French President Francois Hollande had said a British parliamentary vote against taking military action in Syria would not affect France's will to act to punish Bashar al-Assad's government for an apparent chemical weapons attack on civilians. (Reuters)
