It is necessary to focus not only on the resolution of the current crisis, but also on the long-term peace and stability of the region.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China always decides its position and policy based on the merits of the matter.
China believes that to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, it is still necessary to act in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
The first is to respect and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and the second is to insist on peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue.
We hope that the fighting will stop as soon as possible, the situation on the ground will be eased, the safety of civilians' lives and properties will be effectively guaranteed, and large-scale humanitarian crises will be prevented.
Wang Yi pointed out that the Ukrainian crisis can only be resolved through dialogue and negotiation in the end.
China supports all efforts that contribute to de-escalation and political settlement.
China opposes any action that is not conducive to promoting a diplomatic solution but rather fuels the fire and escalates the situation.
China will continue to speak out and do its best for peace.
We encourage Russia and Ukraine to negotiate directly. The negotiation may not be smooth sailing, but the international community should continue to cooperate and support it until a result and peace are reached.
We also encourage the United States, NATO, the European Union and Russia to conduct equal dialogues, face up to the contradictions and problems accumulated over the years, pay attention to the negative impact of the continuous eastward expansion of NATO on Russia's security environment, and seek to build a balanced, effective and sustainable security environment in accordance with the principle of indivisibility of security.
