At an emergency special session of the UN General Assembly, China's Foreign Ministry said, "China has consistently adhered to the abstention of a resolution condemning Russia for a military invasion of Ukraine and calling for the immediate withdrawal of troops. It was unavoidable because it did not match my position and claims. "
At the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the United Nations General Assembly's emergency special meeting on Russia's military invasion of Ukraine was held on the 2nd, and a resolution condemning Russia and calling for the immediate withdrawal of the military was made in Europe, the United States, Japan, etc. It was adopted by a majority of 141 countries, but 5 countries such as Russia opposed it, and 35 countries such as China withdrew.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on the 3rd that the resolution was abstained. The urgency to strengthen the politics was not emphasized, and it was inconsistent with the position and claims that China had consistently maintained, and it was unavoidable to abstain. "
China wants to avoid criticism, emphasizing that it is not responsible for abstaining.
On the other hand, he said, "I urge you to aim for a complete solution to the Ukraine problem through dialogue and consultation," and urged the solution through discussions.
