Wang meets Kuleba, urges Ukraine settlement

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba in Guangzhou yesterday, calling for a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the Ukraine crisis has entered its third year, and the conflict is still ongoing with risks of escalation and spillover.

Noting that China remains firmly committed to a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis, Wang said the four principles laid out by President Xi Jinping form China’s fundamental approach to finding a solution.

On this basis, China and Brazil have jointly outlined six common understandings for a political resolution of the Ukraine crisis, including three principles for managing the conflict, three elements for a peace plan, three humanitarian concerns, as well as important measures to prevent nuclear risks and ensure the stability of industrial and supply chains, he noted.

This consensus has garnered widespread support and response from the international community.

China believes that all conflicts have to end at the negotiating table, and all disputes must be resolved through political means, Wang said, adding that recently both Ukraine and Russia have shown willingness for negotiations.

“Although the conditions and timing are not yet ripe, we support all efforts conducive to peace and stand ready to continue to play a constructive role for a ceasefire and resumption of peace talks,” the foreign minister pointed out.
