China on Friday welcomed Norway's mediation in facilitating dialogue between Venezuela's government and the opposition.

The nature of the Venezuela issue is whether to uphold the UN charter and the basic norm of international relations of not interfering with other countries' internal affairs, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang said at a press briefing.

Noting China's position is consistent and clear-cut, Lu said China maintains that the issue should be solved by Venezuela's government and the opposition within the framework of the constitution through an inclusive political dialogue.

China stands ready to work with all parties to maintain coordination and play a conducive role to peace and talks, so as to find a peaceful solution to the Venezuela issue to safeguard international justice as well as peace and stability in Venezula and the region, Lu said.
