China has reaffirmed its stance that dialogue and negotiation remain the only viable solution to the ongoing Ukraine crisis, emphasizing its role as a neutral facilitator of peace. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated this position during a press briefing on Tuesday, responding to questions about recent diplomatic engagements involving U.S. and European leaders.
Spokesperson Mao Ning stated, "China is not the creator of the Ukraine crisis, nor is it a party to the conflict. We have consistently upheld an objective and impartial stance." She highlighted China\u2019s efforts, including issuing a position paper on political settlement, conducting shuttle diplomacy through special envoys, and establishing the Group of Friends for Peace to foster reconciliation.
Mao acknowledged international efforts to address the crisis, noting, "We are glad to see all efforts committed to peace." She reiterated China\u2019s willingness to collaborate with the international community to advance a political resolution, provided it aligns with the will of the involved parties.
Analysts suggest China\u2019s proactive diplomacy underscores its growing role as a mediator in global conflicts, balancing its strategic partnerships while advocating for multilateral solutions. The remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of major powers\u2019 roles in the protracted crisis.
