Ministry of Foreign Affairs: dialogue and negotiation is the most realistic and feasible way to resolve the Ukrainian crisis

Xinhua News Agency reported that in response to the recent articles published by think tanks such as the European policy center, the Royal Institute of international affairs and the Carnegie European center to reflect on the Ukrainian crisis, foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the 29th that China has always advocated, Dialogue and negotiation are the most realistic and feasible way to resolve the crisis. China is willing to work with the international community to continue to ease the situation, resolve the crisis and rebuild peace.

and

Wang Wenbin made the above remarks when answering relevant questions at the regular press conference on the same day.

and

Wang Wenbin said that with the increasing spread and spillover of the impact of the crisis in Ukraine, there are some voices of rational thinking in the European strategic community. For example, some pointed out that sanctions are not the way to end the war and build a European security order. If the war is to end in reconciliation, resorting to diplomatic means is the right way. In the face of Russia, a neighbor who cannot move away, managing relations with Russia is the primary challenge that the EU must deal with at present. European security rules should be formulated under the leadership of Europeans, and it is impossible to exclude Russia. EU leaders should really listen to and take Russia’s concerns and demands seriously. Others pointed out that to solve the Ukrainian issue, we must pay attention to the security interests of all relevant countries. To solve the current crisis, both Russia and Ukraine should proceed from reality and pay attention to reasonable security concerns.

and

he said that China has always maintained that dialogue and negotiation are the most realistic and feasible way to resolve the crisis, and only by seeking common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security can we achieve long-term stability in Europe and the world. Expanding war and escalating sanctions indefinitely will only complicate the problem and cost the world more.

and

Wang Wenbin said that under the current situation, all parties should actively encourage and support Russia and Ukraine to continue the talks, talk about results and talk about peace. We should abandon the emotional approach of either black or white and rationally examine the deep-seated causes of the Ukrainian crisis. We should avoid the extreme practice of killing people and breaking the net, and create favorable conditions for the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. We should prevent the profiteering practice of igniting and pouring oil, and let the common interests of the international community prevail over the private interests of individual countries.

“China is willing to work with the international community to continue to ease the situation, resolve the crisis and rebuild peace.” He said.

Wang Yi held a video meeting with the EU high representative for foreign and security policy Borrell

on March 29, 2022, State Councilor and foreign minister Wang Yi held a video meeting with the EU high representative for foreign and security policy Borrell.

Wang Yi said that today’s world has entered a new period of turbulence and change. As two major forces in the process of world multipolarization, China and the EU should maintain regular strategic communication, continuously enhance mutual understanding, continue to expand cooperation consensus and jointly address various global challenges. The two sides should make good preparations for the next stage of high-level exchanges, provide strategic guidance for bilateral cooperation and send a positive signal to the world.

and

Borelli said that Europe and China are important strategic forces in the world and the pillar of global economic recovery and growth. At present, EU China relations face some specific problems, but the EU is still committed to improving and upgrading bilateral relations. I would like to reiterate that the EU adheres to the one China policy, and the EU as a whole and all Member States will not and should not deviate from this position. Europe and China should strengthen mutual understanding, show the spirit of friendship and cooperation, and promote positive results in high-level exchanges in the next stage.

Borrelli said, UKThe blue war continues and has a severe impact on the EU and the world. The European side calls for a ceasefire and war cessation as soon as possible, the opening of humanitarian corridors, the non use of weapons of mass destruction and the prevention of sanctions evasion. It hopes that China will play an important role in promoting peace.

and

Wang Yi said that China deplores the fact that the war in Ukraine has not subsided. We have always judged the situation and decided policies according to the merits of the problem itself, and have always made efforts in our own way to cool the situation and achieve peace at an early date. China is willing to work with the international community to continue to call for a cease-fire and war, promote peace talks, prevent large-scale humanitarian crises and open the door to peace.

and

Wang Yi stressed that China’s position is clear and clear. On the issue of war and peace, we stand on the side of peace, between unilateral sanctions and dialogue and negotiation, on the side of dialogue, between pouring oil on the fire and cooling and extinguishing the fire, and on the side of cooling. Time will prove that China’s position is responsible and can stand the test of history.

and

Wang Yi stressed that in dealing with complex security problems, we should not adopt the simplified approach of “friend or foe, black or white”. All countries have the right to independently decide their own foreign policies. Facts have proved that the old way of cold war thinking and camp confrontation is no longer feasible in Europe, and it is even more undesirable to choose sides and split the world. Extreme sanctions will only lead to mutual harm, complicate the situation and intensify contradictions. It is neither fair nor legal for countries and peoples that are not parties to pay for the conflict. China is willing to work with all parties to take into account the legitimate and reasonable concerns of all parties and make efforts towards the general direction of striving for the settlement of the Russian Ukrainian conflict and the restoration of peace in Europe as soon as possible.

and

Borelli further introduced the European position and said that the European side does not seek to change Russia’s political system, does not want to see the situation escalate, and opposes any form of new cold war and camp confrontation.
