Ghalioun left the Chinese capital, Beijing, for Japan late on Wednesday.
The Syrian opposition leader met with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi during his three-day visit.
Jiechi said during the meeting that Beijing would support any solution that was acceptable to all parties in Syria in order to end the 14-month turmoil in the country.
The Syrian opposition leader claimed his coalition opposed any foreign interference in the internal affairs of Syria.
Ghalioun’s trip to China concluded on the day when a bomb attack targeted a Syrian military truck escorting a convoy of UN observers near the southwestern city of Dara’a on Wednesday. Witnesses said at least three Syrian soldiers were wounded in the attack.
Head of the UN mission Major General Robert Mood was also in the convoy, but neither he nor any of the other monitors sustained injuries.
A number of UN observers are currently monitoring a ceasefire in Syria that took effect on April 12.
The ceasefire was part of a six-point peace plan proposed by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan in March.
Meanwhile, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said in a statement on Wednesday, “Relevant parties in Syria should honor the ceasefire and support and cooperate with the work of the UN supervision team to create the conditions to launch an inclusive political process as soon as possible.”
Li Guofu, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the Chinese Institute of International Studies, told Press TV that China believes that the Syrian problem should be solved by the Syrian people through political dialogue “without preconditions.”
“We believe that the Syrian people on their own have more than enough wisdom and ability to solve their problems.”
China and Russia vetoed a Western-backed draft resolution on Syria at the UN Security Council on February 4. The two countries rejected the draft as “unbalanced.”
Beijing and Moscow also vetoed a European-drafted UN Security Council resolution against Syria on October 5, 2011.
