French President Emmanuel Macron, in talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, urged him to “reason Russia” and push the Kremlin to talks in Ukraine, AFP reports.
“To talk about strategic and mutually beneficial partnership means to talk about peace and stability in the world,” Macron said, recalling that China “is committed to the UN Charter, strict adherence to existing documents in the nuclear field, everything that contributes to peace and stability on the planet” . He also stressed that the situation in Ukraine “dealt a blow to this stability, put an end to decades of peace in Europe.” “I know that I can count on you, in view of the two principles that I have just cited, in order to bring Russia to reason and bring everyone to the negotiating table,” the French leader added.
Macron is visiting China from April 5 to 8. Earlier, the Elysee Palace stated that “China is the only state in the world that is able to have an immediate and radical influence on the course of the conflict” in Ukraine.
