China calls on all parties in Syria to respect ceasefire Apr 10th 2012, 07:48 BEIJING, April 10 | Tue Apr 10, 2012 3:48am EDT BEIJING, April 10 (Reuters) - Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin on Tuesday reiterated hopes that the Syrian government and opposition groups would immediately adhere to a U.N.-brokered ceasefire. Syrian troops shelled villages, fired across frontiers and were accused of massacres in the hours before a deadline on Tuesday that many doubt halt a 13-month slide into all-out civil war. International mediator, and former U.N. secretary general, Kofi Annan has put forward a six-point peace plan for ending the year-long fighting that lays down a deadline for Syria to withdraw troops and heavy weapons from towns on Tuesday, followed by a ceasefire by both Syrian forces and opposition fighters 48 hours later on April 12.
