UK Conservative Party Commission Raises Concerns Over Human Rights in China
BEIJING (Sputnik) — China vowed to cooperate with the the United Nations Human Rights Council and expressed readiness to invite its representatives to discuss the situation with human rights in the country should the need arise, the government said in the National Human Rights Action Plan revealed on Thursday.

"China will cooperate with the experts from the Special Procedures of the UN Human Rights Council, answer their letters and invite them to visit China when it is necessary," the plan reads.

The plan which runs to 2020 stipulates that Beijing would recommend Chinese specialists for posts in the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council, a group of independent expert with mandates to report and advise on human rights, and will carry out exchanges and cooperation with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

In July, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited China and stressed the necessity to promote UN charters which stipulate peace, security, development and respect for human rights during his meeting with the country's leader Xi Jinping.
