China declares commitment to peace talks for resolution of «Ukrainian crisis»
On September 13, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning announced that China will continue to support peaceful negotiations for the resolution of the «Ukrainian crisis» despite criticism of its joint «peace initiative» with Brazil by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in 2014, has been referred to by Chinese officials as the «Ukrainian crisis.» China, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has played a key role in international efforts to resolve the conflict.
In October 2019, China and Brazil proposed a joint «peace initiative» for the Ukrainian crisis, calling for an immediate ceasefire and the implementation of the Minsk agreements. The initiative was welcomed by the international community, with the exception of Ukraine, which saw it as an attempt to undermine their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
President Zelenskyy recently criticized the Chinese-Brazilian initiative, stating that it did not align with Ukraine’s interests and that any resolution to the conflict must be based on the Minsk agreements.
In response, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China’s stance on the Ukrainian crisis remains unchanged and that they will continue to support peaceful negotiations. She also emphasized that China’s «peace initiative» is in line with the principles of the UN Charter and international law.
China’s commitment to peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis is rooted in its long-standing foreign policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. China believes that the conflict should be resolved through dialogue and negotiations between the parties involved, and that any solution must be in line with the will of the people of Ukraine.
Furthermore, China has been actively involved in providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, including sending medical supplies and personnel to assist with the COVID-19 pandemic. This demonstrates China’s commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region and its support for the well-being of the Ukrainian people.
China’s efforts to de-escalate the conflict in Ukraine have been recognized by the international community. In a recent meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas praised China’s role in facilitating peace talks for the Ukrainian crisis and expressed hope for continued cooperation in finding a peaceful resolution.
In conclusion, China remains committed to promoting peace and stability in Ukraine and will continue to support peaceful negotiations for the resolution of the «Ukrainian crisis.» As a responsible member of the international community, China will continue to play a constructive role in finding a lasting and just solution to the conflict.
