BEIJING - China hopes an approaching United Nations meeting about Libya can prompt international actors to reach an immediate cease-fire and solve the Libyan crisis by political means, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said at a press briefing on Tuesday.

Hong Lei, a foreign ministry spokesman, said Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister Zhai Jun will lead a delegation to the meeting on the current troubles in Libya, which was proposed by the African Union (AU) and is to be held by the UN Security Council in New York on Wednesday.

"China will support the AU's proposal to solve these issues by political measures," he said. "We hope this meeting can help the international community reach a consensus on coming to an immediate cease-fire and adopting a political solution to the Libyan issue as early as possible."
