From BBC News:
The Chinese special envoy for Darfur has arrived in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, for a five-day visit.
The visit of Liu Guijin comes amid mounting pressure on Beijing to use its influence on the Sudanese government to end the conflict in the western region.
Mr Liu will travel to Darfur on Tuesday, the fifth anniversary of the start of the conflict which has left 200,000 people dead and 2.5m homeless.
Correspondents say China wants to show it is playing a positive role in Sudan.
