China supports Sudan in safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, foreign minister Wang Yi told newly appointed Sudanese counterpart Omar Seddik on Wednesday.

Wang met Seddik, who is war-torn Sudan's outgoing ambassador to Beijing, in the Chinese capital, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement.

China backs Sudan in achieving peace, stability and development at an early date, Wang said, pledging to continue providing humanitarian assistance and help within its capacity.
