A day after Australian PM Scott Morrison challenged China to sanction Russia, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in his response, asserted that his countryâs relationship with its neighbour remains ârock solidâ. Regardless, addressing media reporters on Monday, Wang Yi reiterated calls for dialogue and noted that Beijing was ready to work with the international community to end the ongoing war in Ukraine. Notably, his statement came as the Russian invasion of the ex-Soviet state entered the 12th day, leading to additional causalities.
During his address, Wang asserted that relations between Beijing and Moscow must be free of “interference from third parties.â While the Chinese diplomat stopped short of taking names, it is to be noted that the US and its allies have blatantly criticized Beijing for not sanctioning Moscow. Canberra has also pressured the Xi Jinping administration by saying that it was a ‘moment of choice’ for the country to prove its commitment to global peace.
#China and #Russia will maintain strategic focus and steadily advance our comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era.
