Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi says the Munich meeting on Syria has achieved hard-won results, calling on all sides involved should make efforts to implement the agreements.

The comment comes as top diplomats attending the meeting have agreed on a nationwide cessation of hostilities in the war-torn Middle East country.

Representatives from the 17-member International Syria Support Group gathered in Munich this week for talks, hoping to restart the Syrian peace talks.

Wang Yi outlines the major agreements reached at the meetings.

"First, all parties agreed to provide access to humanitarian aid so as to deliver the aid to Syrian refugees within this week. The ISSG members should exert their influence and make the objective realized. All parties also agreed to announce a stop to belligerent actions in Syria in an all-round manner and, under the sponsorship by the United Nations, authorize the formation of a working team led by the United States and Russia to consult in detail on how to implement the stopping of belligerent actions and even future truce. All ISSG members can participate in the consultation."

The delegation also called for an early resumption of peace talks, after the UN-mediated Geneva negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition groups within Syria were suspended earlier this month.

Wang Yi says that the next step is ensuring that the agreement will be implemented.

He urges all parties concerned to abide by the UN resolution and stick to political solutions. "The two sides in Syria should put the Syrian people's interest above all and resume peace talks soon, and let the Syrian people decide the future of Syria," said Wang.

Wang Yi also calls for international support for the peace process in Syria. "Major countries in the region, especially the ones that have major influence on the situation should stop accusing one another and work together to assist ceasefire and humanitarian aid, not against it. Nations outside the region, including members of the support group, especially USA and Russia should prioritize the stability of the region and take the responsibility in fulfilling the UN Security Council Resolution 2254 in order to provide an external environment needed for a political solution in Syria," the Chinese Foreign Minister said.

Following the meetings in Munich, a humanitarian task force for Syria completed its first meeting in Geneva.

"We will reconvene Wednesday next week, already, and our team on the ground that we had on video from Damascus is going to work tonight and we will renew all requests for access, we are basically now working to solve the problems of the besieged areas," said Jan Egeland, the Chairman of the Task Force on Humanitarian Access in Syria.

Egeland says aid convoys will leave for Syria as soon as warring parties give the go-ahead.

U.N. figures show more than 480,000 people are under siege in Syria.

In addition, 4.6 million people are out of reach of vital aid, while five million refugees have been created and millions more are homeless within Syria.
