Wang Yi: China welcomes all efforts to pursue peace talks between Russia and Ukraine

On February 14, 2025 local time, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, held the 10th China-UK Strategic Dialogue with British Foreign Secretary Lamy in London. The two sides exchanged in-depth views on the Ukraine crisis. Wang Yi comprehensively explained China's position and stressed that China always follows the "four should" put forward by President Xi Jinping as the fundamental principle, calling for "no spillover of the battlefield, no escalation of the war, and no arson by all parties." The development and changes of the situation confirm the rationality and constructiveness of China's proposition. China welcomes all efforts to commit to peace talks, supports the construction of a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture, and ultimately realizes long-term stability in Europe. China is willing to work with all parties including the European side to continue to play a constructive role in this regard. The two sides also exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East and other issues.
