China has reaffirmed its commitment to diplomatic solutions for the Ukraine crisis, welcoming recent discussions between U.S. and Russian officials in Riyadh this week. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun emphasized that dialogue remains \"the only viable way\" to resolve conflicts, even as Ukraine declined to participate in Tuesday's meeting.
The remarks highlight Beijing's consistent stance on promoting multilateral peace efforts. Analysts note China's approach balances support for negotiation platforms while advocating for broader inclusion of stakeholders – a nod to its emphasis on multipolar global governance.
This development follows China's 2023 12-point peace proposal for Ukraine, which stressed territorial integrity and nuclear safety. While Beijing maintains trade ties with Moscow, recent diplomatic exchanges suggest growing engagement with European counterparts on conflict resolution strategies.
Global observers will watch how major powers navigate delicate peace talks ahead of September's UN General Assembly, where sustainable crisis management solutions are expected to dominate discussions.
