February 23, 2023, 09:46 – Public Information Service – TEH – China has proposed a peace plan to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, because the West cannot act as a mediator, but only escalates the situation. MK writes about this.
Chinese analysts said Beijing was doing everything possible to mediate, but the success of the peace plan depended on both sides of the conflict. Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi met with Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, to discuss Ukraine-related issues.
Beijing is ready to maintain a constant momentum for the development of a new model of relations with Russia and counts on the success of the peace plan. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that “key points of the peace plan” proposed by China will be studied by the Ukrainian side.
Chinese analysts have pointed out that efforts by Western leaders to mediate the conflict have failed and the world needs a new plan, and China takes responsibility for it.
A visit by Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled in the coming months, although no specific date has been announced. It is reported by The Guardian.
During the visit, Wang Yi said in Moscow that a crisis always presents an opportunity and Sino-Russian relations have never been dictated by third parties. Both leaders stressed the importance of multipolar approaches to international affairs.
On Tuesday, China released a government document outlining the principles of Beijing’s global security policy. The document makes it clear that the use of sanctions as a means of settling disputes is categorically rejected.
Xi Jinping is expected to deliver a peaceful speech on the anniversary of the start of the conflict, which could be based on ideas set out in the Global Security Initiative, reports The Guardian.
Rosemary Foote, a professor of international relations at Oxford University, notes that Wang’s visit to Moscow was aimed at promoting the idea of a peaceful settlement. Chinese leaders emphasize the importance of stability in international affairs, both as an ideology and as a means to achieve their economic goals.
