President Xi Jinping affirmed on Monday that an early ceasefire and a political agreement on the Ukrainian crisis are in the interest of all parties and suggested that the foreign network create situations for discussion and direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Xi made the remarks at a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Beijing.
Orban arrived in the Chinese capital on Monday morning. “Peace Mission 3. 0” is how Orban captioned a photo posted Monday morning on social media platform X of him after getting off his own in Beijing.
Orban’s stopover comes after his vacation in Moscow and Kyiv, where he proposed that Ukraine agree to an early ceasefire with Russia.
During the meeting, both leaders engaged in in-depth discussions on the Ukraine crisis. Orban briefed on the recent visits to Ukraine and Russia. Xi commended him for his efforts in promoting a political resolution to the Ukraine crisis and outlined China’s views and propositions on the crisis.
Xi said priority should now be given to upholding the three principles of “not overflowing the battlefield, not intensifying fighting, and not adding fuel to the fire through the relevant parties” to temporarily calm the situation.
It presses the need for the foreign network to provide help for direct discussions and negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. ” Only when all the primary powers exert a positive and not a negative influence can a hint of a ceasefire emerge in this clash as soon as possible. He said.
Xi said China actively advocates peace and promotes debate in its own way, encouraging and supporting all efforts to resolve the crisis peacefully.
Noting that the principles and efforts of China and Hungary are aligned, Xi said China is willing to continue communication with Hungary and relevant parties.
After the meeting, Orban said on Platform X that China is a key force in creating peace in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“That’s why I came here to meet President Xi in Beijing, just two months after his official visit to Budapest. “
