China has expressed support for international efforts to facilitate a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, following a phone discussion between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning emphasized Beijing's consistent advocacy for resolving the crisis through dialogue during a press briefing on Wednesday.
\"We are glad to see all efforts that lead to a ceasefire, viewing this as a necessary step toward achieving peace,\" Mao stated, underscoring China's commitment to diplomatic solutions. The remarks came after Putin and Trump reportedly agreed during their Tuesday call that peace in Ukraine \"will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.\"
While details of the proposed measures remain limited, China's endorsement highlights its broader diplomatic approach to global conflicts. Analysts suggest Beijing's stance aligns with its emphasis on stability amid ongoing economic and geopolitical shifts across Asia and beyond.
