Chinese leader Xi Jinping reiterated China's stance on the war in Ukraine during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. Xi expressed China's desire to avoid any spillover or escalation of the conflict and emphasized the importance of working towards a ceasefire and political resolution.
Xi's comments come in the wake of reports that Ukraine has been given approval by the US to use American-made long-range missiles against targets in Russia. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, emphasized the need for de-escalation and a focus on achieving a peaceful settlement.
During the G20 summit, Xi urged world leaders to help calm the situation in Ukraine and seek a political solution. China has consistently advocated for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the crisis, highlighting the importance of all parties working towards a peaceful resolution.
China's position remains clear - promoting a ceasefire and political settlement is in the best interest of all involved. The Chinese government is committed to playing a constructive role in finding a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict and will continue to support efforts aimed at de-escalation and dialogue.
As tensions remain high in the region, China's call for a ceasefire and political solution underscores the importance of international cooperation and diplomacy in resolving conflicts and maintaining peace.
