China and Russia are « friends forever, never enemies, » said Chinese Foreign Minister Van, and in comments published on Tuesday during a visit to Moscow, in which he also welcomed the signs of normalizing the connections between Washington and Moscow.

« (This) is good for stabilizing the balance of power between the great powers and inspires optimism into a disappointing international situation, » said Van, quoted by RIA. Van also rejected the idea that Trump is trying to support Russia to set it against China, condemning similar ideas such as « relapse of outdated confrontation and block thinking. »
Peace in Ukraine
Van said that recent negotiations to end the fire in Ukraine have already led to some results and must continue despite the different opinions and the difficult situation of the battlefield.
« The step to peace, though not so big, is constructive – it is worth upgrading on it, » Van said. « Efforts are needed for peace. You have to work hard to achieve it. »

He added that the peace agreement should be binding and acceptable to all countries, and reiterated that Beijing is ready to play a role in settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. He insists on China’s greater participation in peace talks from the first days of the war, which celebrated its third anniversary in February.
Beijing proposed on its own and together with Brazil general principles for termination of the conflict, but his ideas were accepted coolly. « We are advocating to eradicate the causes of the crisis through dialogue and negotiations, ultimately to achieve a fair, long -term, binding peace agreement acceptable to all countries, » Van said.
