China calls on Turkey to support its fight against militants operating in China's far western East Turkistan region
The Turkish Foreign Ministry on February 9 urged the Chinese authorities to respect the fundamental human rights of Uyghur Turks and to close the internment camps.
Meeting Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Onal in Beijing, the Chinese government's top diplomat State Councillor Wang Yi said his country sets great store on its ties with Turkey, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement late on Thursday. "It is hoped that the Turkish side can also earnestly respect China's core interests in safeguarding national sovereignty and security, and support China's efforts to combat the 'East Turkistan' terrorist forces and safeguard the overall situation of the strategic cooperation between the two countries."
China has faced growing international opprobrium for setting up what it calls vocation training centres to combat extremism in the area which it calls Xinjiang province. The area is home to the Uyghur people and the training centres are seen by many countries as internment camps for Chinese Muslims.
