China has reiterated its commitment to fostering dialogue in the Ukraine crisis, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stating Beijing stands ready to collaborate with the international community for a political resolution. The remarks came during a press briefing on Tuesday following Ukraine's appeal for China to leverage its diplomatic influence during Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit.
Consistent Position on Conflict
"Since the onset of the crisis, China has maintained an objective and just stance while actively promoting peace talks," Guo emphasized. He highlighted China's adherence to the UN Charter and respect for national sovereignty as guiding principles in its approach.
Balanced Diplomacy in Focus
Analysts suggest China's position reflects its broader strategy of balancing strategic partnerships while advocating for multilateral solutions. The spokesperson's comments align with Beijing's recent diplomatic engagements aimed at stabilizing global supply chains impacted by the conflict – a key concern for Asian economies and international investors.
Guo concluded: "We will continue working constructively based on the will of relevant parties to facilitate a lasting peace." The statement comes as several Asian governments monitor the conflict's effects on energy security and trade routes critical to regional development.
