China’s top diplomat Wang Yi told his Russian counterpart that Beijing remains “impartial” on the war in Ukraine
In a call Monday, Wang stressed to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that China and Russia are “trustworthy and reliable good friends and partners.” “On the Ukraine crisis, China will uphold an independent and impartial position, sound an objective and rational voice, actively promote peace talks, and strive to seek a political solution on any international multilateral occasion,” Wang said, according to a readout of the call released by China’s Foreign Ministry.
China’s special envoy on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui, who led the delegation, “had extensive contact and communication with all parties on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis… listened to all sides’ opinions and proposals, and further consolidated international consensus,” China’s foreign ministry told Reuters in a statement Monday. CNN has reached out to the ministry for comment. China’s participation in the talks did not appear to alter its own stance on the conflict, however.
