Spokesperson's Remarks｜China always advocates dialogue, consultation and political settlement on Ukraine crisis

In response to a media question regarding China's hope or potential role in a peace agreement to resolve the Ukraine crisis, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday that on any dispute and conflict in the world, China always advocates dialogue, consultation and political settlement.This is also true when it comes to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

"China is not the creator of the Ukraine crisis nor a party to it. That said, we have not just sat by and watched the crisis unfold or profiteered from the crisis." Guo said.

Guo noted that right after the Ukraine crisis broke out, China proposed to settle the crisis through dialogue and consultation. China has followed the four points about what must be done, which were proposed by President Xi Jinping, as the fundamental guidance, actively carried out diplomatic mediation, and set up the Group of "Friends for Peace" together with Brazil and other Global South countries. The development of the situation also proved that China's proposition is objective, impartial, rational and pragmatic, and represents the prevailing consensus in the international community.

"China will continue to support all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis, maintain communication with relevant parties and play a constructive role in promoting the political settlement of the crisis." Guo said. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
