Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao greets U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in Beijing.
Following his trip to Russia, Annan is on a two-day visit to China designed to shore up support for his peace mission in Syria.
Both Russia and China had previously used their vetoes to shield Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from U.N. Security Council condemnation.
Annan told Wen that Syria has accepted a six-point peace proposal calling for a cease-fire, humanitarian aid, and political dialogue.
Annan said China has pledged support for the process.

"They have offered me their full support. They're going to work with me and the other members of the council to ensure that the six-point plan is implemented. And I indicated that I had received a response from the Syrian government."
Syria's fractious opposition groups began reconciliation talks in Istanbul on Tuesday aimed at demonstrating they can provide a coherent and effective alternative to President Bashar al-Assad.
