The plan includes a cease-fire by Syrian forces, a daily two-hour halt to fighting to evacuate injured people and provide humanitarian aid and inclusive talks about a political solution.

Ahmad Fawzi is Annan's spokesman. He said on Tuesday that the Syrian government's acceptance of Annan's proposal came in a letter addressed to the U.N. envoy.

The UN says more than 8,000 people have been killed in Syria's yearlong uprising.

Annan arrived in China on Tuesday after meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow, where he said there was no deadline for ending the Syrian crisis but that it cannot drag on indefinitely.

In Beijing, Annan met with Chinese foreign ministry officials and was to hold talks later on Tuesday with Premier Wen Jiabao.

Annan said in Moscow that above all, the Syrian government and opposition must start a political process to resolve the conflict peacefully, adding that it would be up to the Syrians themselves to decide whether President Bashar Assad should step down.

China – along with Russia – has twice shielded Assad from UN sanctions over his crackdown on a year-long uprising. The two countries called the resolutions unbalanced, saying they blamed only the Syrian government and demanded an end to government attacks, but not ones by the opposition.

About 60 countries, including the United States, will attend a "Friends of the Syrian People" conference in Istanbul on Sunday. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Monday that China was invited but would not attend.

Washington and many of its allies have said Assad has lost all legitimacy in a year of cracking down on political opponents and that he must step down. China says the crisis needs to be resolved through talks.
