Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has pointed out that sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter must be fully observed, the legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously, and all efforts that are conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis must be supported, Wang said.
This is China’s most authoritative exposition on the Ukraine issue, and it is also China’s fundamental principle in viewing and handling this issue, Wang said, adding that China has always been committed to promoting peace talks, never stands idly by, never adds fuel to the fire, and never takes advantage of the situation for self-interests.
China always stands on the side of peace, and will continue to play a constructive role, he said.
