China welcomes talks between Trump, Putin
China has endorsed the proposed talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the resolution of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
“Russia and the U.S. are both influential powers, and China welcomes their efforts to strengthen communication and dialogue on a range of international issues,” a spokesman for the Beijing Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
China has consistently maintained that negotiations are the only viable path to resolving the crisis.
From the beginning, President Xi Jinping has aimed for a political solution, the spokesman said.
Mr Trump spoke with Mr Putin on the phone on Wednesday and agreed to begin negotiations to end the war against Ukraine.
At the same time, Trump’s administration publicly outlined how it envisions a deal to end the war for the first time – in several aspects aligning with Moscow’s interests.
