EU state backs Chinese peace plan for Ukraine

Budapest supports Beijing’s proposals for resolving the Ukraine conflict, and believes there is “no solution to wars on the battlefield,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday. He was speaking following talks with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing.

The Hungarian diplomat expressed concern that the “pro-war camp,” supported by global media and NGOs, remains “extremely loud” and is undermining peace efforts.

“We support the Chinese peace plan, simply because it exists and calls for peace. And in our opinion, any initiative that diverts international political debates and international political discourse from war to peace is useful,” Szijjarto said in a statement following the talks.
