Chinese President Xi Jinping has articulated China's "principled" position on ending the conflict in Ukraine during a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The Chinese leader stressed that any peace negotiations must involve all parties on an equal footing.

Equal Representation in Peace Talks

Xi Jinping highlighted the necessity of considering the legitimate concerns of all sides involved and strengthening the will for peace. This stance was communicated by the press service of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Complex Global Landscape

The President of the People's Republic of China described the current international situation as undergoing the most complex changes since World War II. He believes that the key to ending the war lies in continuing dialogue and negotiations.

Germany's Call for Influence

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged Xi Jinping to leverage China's influence over Russia to persuade Moscow to cease its military actions in Ukraine. Scholz indicated that signals from Beijing carry significant weight in Moscow.

Previous Statements on China's Role

Earlier, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, suggested that Beijing could play a pivotal role in ending the war with a single phone call to Russia. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously stated that China has not yet shown significant interest in halting Russia's war against Ukraine.
