Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed China's commitment to fostering peace in Ukraine during a Group of 20 (G20) meeting in South Africa on Thursday. He expressed support for all initiatives that contribute to stability, including the recent consensus reached between the United States and Russia.
In a statement released on Friday, China's Foreign Ministry emphasized Beijing’s willingness to play a constructive role in resolving the Ukraine crisis.

China has consistently advocated for diplomatic dialogue to end the conflict in Ukraine. Wang’s remarks signal Beijing’s continued push for multilateral cooperation, positioning China as a key mediator in global peace efforts.
Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, China has sought to balance its strategic relationships with both Russia and the West. While maintaining strong economic and political ties with Moscow, Beijing has also engaged in diplomatic discussions with Western nations to explore potential pathways to de-escalation.
The G20 meeting provided a platform for global leaders to discuss pressing international issues, with the Ukraine conflict remaining a focal point. As the war continues, China's stance and involvement in diplomatic negotiations will play a crucial role in shaping future peace efforts.
By reaffirming its support for dialogue and negotiation, China signals its readiness to facilitate discussions that could pave the way for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
