The top Chinese diplomat calls for an end to hostilities before visiting Moscow

Top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, who is due to visit Russia this week to mark the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, on Monday called for talks and peace for the good of the world and Europe in particular.

“We would like a political solution to provide a peaceful and sustainable framework for Europe,” Wang said in Hungary ahead of his visit to Moscow.

China considers Russia an ally, balancing the global power of the United States, and has so far refrained from condemning the February 24, 2022 invasion of Ukraine, repeatedly calling for peace.

In a video on Facebook during a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, Wang said the world is besieged by wars and unrest.

“Let me repeat what we just heard (from you) and jointly declare to the world that China and Hungary will gladly work with other peace-loving countries to stop the current hostilities as soon as possible,” Wang told Szijjártó in the Facebook video during the ‘encounter.
