US President Joe Biden scheduled a March 18 telephone conversation with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This was announced by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
As noted in the message of the press service of the White House, the topic of negotiations will be the situation in Ukraine and other issues of “concern.” Also, the leaders of the two countries will discuss some aspects of bilateral relations.
Earlier, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that China would face serious consequences in case of violation of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed hope that his country would not be affected by the sanctions due to the situation in Ukraine. He stressed that China is not a party to this conflict, but “some forces denigrate the objective and fair position of the Chinese side on the Ukrainian issue and fabricate false information.” According to him, China “plays a constructive role” in resolving the Ukrainian crisis and will continue to do so in the future.
