China ready for a constructive role in the right / day of war ending
« China is ready to take on a constructive role (conflict), taking into account the efforts of the parties involved, » the minister said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Van is visiting Moscow this week, where he is scheduled to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and dictator Vladimir Putin.
Beijing and Moscow have increased economic cooperation and diplomatic contacts in recent years, and since Russia’s full invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, their strategic partnership has become even closer.
China positions itself in the war context as a neutral side and claims that it does not send fatal assistance to any of the parties.
However, it is a close political and economic ally of Russia, and NATO members have named Beijing as the « decisive promoter » of the war.
US President Donald Trump has been trying to get a quick end to the war since taking office, but his administration has failed to get a breakthrough despite talks with both sides.
Putin rejected the US -Ukrainian joint plan for a 30 -day ceasefire and last month proposed to resign Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski as part of the peace process.
Beijing has announced that Van will maintain « in -depth communication on the development of Chinese -Russia relations in the next phase and on international and regional issues affecting both parties ».
