Beijing “hopes all parties can reach a just, lasting and acceptable solution,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said in a news conference in Beijing.
“China is also willing to continue working with the international community to play a constructive role in the political resolution of the crisis,” Mao said.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz are meeting on Tuesday with senior Ukrainian officials, led by Andriy Yermak, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
