China will send its special envoy for Africa to South Sudan to help push talks as heavy fighting between government forces and rebels raged yesterday in the world's newest country.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the envoy would head to South Sudan "soon" to communicate with all parties.
Wang did not name the envoy, but he was likely referring to Zhong Jianhua, an urbane veteran diplomat who has deep experience of the conflict in South Sudan.
"China is highly concerned about the evolving situation in South Sudan," Wang said.
China has extensive energy interests in South Sudan. It is already the biggest investor in South Sudan's oilfields through state-owned giants China National Petroleum Corp and Sinopec.
