"The Ukraine crisis continues, China advocates the timely convening of a real peace conference, which both Russia and Ukraine recognize, with equal participation of all sides and honest discussion of all peace plans," Wang said during a meeting of BRICS foreign ministers in Russia, as quoted by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
"There is only one goal that China hopes to achieve, that is to build consensus to ending the conflict and pave the way for peace talks," Wang said earlier, specifying that China did not start or participate in the Ukrainian crisis, but it also did not sit idly by nor exploited the situation.
In February 2023, Beijing released a 12-point document titled "China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis," which underscores respect for the sovereignty of all countries, the cessation of hostilities, and the resumption of peace talks between Moscow and Kiev.
