China has called for accelerated international efforts to reach a comprehensive peace agreement resolving the Ukraine conflict, emphasizing dialogue and multilateral cooperation as key to stabilizing global security frameworks. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated Monday that Beijing expects all stakeholders to engage constructively in negotiations aimed at achieving a "fair and lasting solution acceptable to all parties."
The appeal comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders prepare to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, following high-stakes discussions between Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week. While details of the Alaska summit remain undisclosed, analysts suggest the talks focused on energy security and conflict de-escalation strategies.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning reiterated China's consistent position: "We support all initiatives conducive to the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and welcome continued communication between major powers, including Russia and the United States." The statement aligns with China's broader diplomatic philosophy prioritizing sovereignty and non-interference principles.
As geopolitical tensions reshape supply chains and investment patterns across Asia, business leaders are closely monitoring how peace negotiations might influence regional stability. A sustainable resolution could unlock new opportunities in Eurasian connectivity projects and energy markets, particularly for economies positioned along the Belt and Road Initiative corridors.
