China has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering dialogue to resolve the Ukraine conflict, with a Foreign Ministry spokesperson stating Beijing "supports all efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement" during a press briefing on Tuesday. The remarks came amid reports of planned discussions between U.S. and Russian leaders about the crisis, though Ukrainian and EU representatives reportedly remain excluded from the talks.
Spokesperson Lin Jian emphasized China\u2019s position that negotiations should involve "all parties concerned and stakeholders" to achieve a "fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement." While welcoming improved U.S.-Russia communication, Lin stressed the need for inclusive participation in any resolution process.
The statement aligns with China\u2019s consistent advocacy for diplomatic solutions to global conflicts. Analysts suggest Beijing\u2019s stance reflects its broader approach to international security challenges, balancing strategic partnerships with calls for multilateral cooperation. As major powers maneuver, China\u2019s role as a potential mediator continues to draw attention from governments and investors monitoring geopolitical risks in Eurasia.
