Q: The multinational forces have begun to launch military strikes against Libya. What's China's comment on that?

A: China has noted the latest developments in the Libyan situation and expresses regret over the military strike against Libya. China always disapproves the use of force in international relations and maintains that the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and relevant norms of international law be adhered to, and Libya's sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity be respected. We hope to see Libya restore stablity as soon as possible and avoid the escalation of military conflicts and more civilian casualties.
