Security issues are set to be discussed during diplomatic talks in Abu Dhabi
China has expressed support for diplomatic efforts to end the military conflict in Ukraine. Beijing urged all sides to engage in constructive dialogue ahead of the upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine (Олена Бджола), according to the portal PromPolitInform.
During a United Nations Security Council meeting, Chinese representative Sun Lei voiced support for efforts aimed at resolving the situation in Ukraine. The diplomat emphasized the significance of the current stage for reaching an understanding through negotiations.
According to the Chinese diplomat, the parties must demonstrate a willingness to compromise and maintain momentum that facilitates a political resolution to the conflict. He noted that Beijing expects assistance from the international community in creating the necessary conditions for this process.
Priorities for Settlement
Sun Lei highlighted the necessity of upholding humanitarian standards and de-escalating tensions as a separate point. The PRC representative welcomed recent steps, including the prisoner exchange and the implementation of humanitarian missions in the Oleshky area.
He emphasized the call to protect civilians and critical infrastructure. According to the diplomat, special attention should be paid to the safety of women, children, and other vulnerable groups.
Demands for Negotiations
A second key area involves strengthening the commitment to peace through concrete actions by the participants. The Chinese side advocates for the demonstration of political will, regular communication, and joint efforts in preparing a comprehensive agreement.
Beijing insists that to achieve lasting peace, the root causes of the crisis must be identified and addressed. The diplomat reiterated his nation’s stance that there are no winners in modern armed conflicts.
PRC Diplomatic Strategy
China’s position remains consistent, grounded in the principles outlined by President Xi Jinping. Beijing continues its practice of shuttle diplomacy and maintaining contact with both sides of the war.
China confirmed its readiness to participate in international efforts to halt hostilities. The goal of this activity is to establish long-term stability in the region.
It should be noted that working-level talks involving the United States as a mediator are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The discussions will cover security arrangements and humanitarian issues.
