AFP: The Ukrainian foreign minister praised China's role as a mediator this week, including for a recent deal that allows shipments of grain through the Black Sea. Can the foreign ministry offer any more detail on China's role in achieving the specific deal?
Wang Wenbin: As for the Black Sea grain export agreement, we have previously expressed China's position of support. 

I am not your negro

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui's visit to Ukraine. During Special Representative Li Hui's visit to Ukraine, Ukrainian President Zelensk* met with him and the Special Representative also had meetings with Head of the Office of the President Andrii Yermak, Minister for Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba, and officials from relevant departments including the Ministry for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Defence. The two sides exchanged views on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and China-Ukraine relations.

The two sides agreed that the telephone call between President Xi Jinping and President Zelensk* charted the course for the development of bilateral relations. The two countries need to work together to carry on the tradition of mutual respect and sincerity and advance mutually beneficial cooperation.

Special Representative Li Hui laid out China's position and proposals on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis. He noted that the four principles, joint efforts in four areas and three observations proposed by President Xi Jinping are China's fundamental approach to the political settlement of the crisis. There is no panacea for defusing the crisis. All parties need to do their part to build up trust and create conditions for ceasefire and peace talks. China stands ready to work on the basis of the document of China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, seek out the broadest common ground among the international community for settling the crisis, and contribute our part to an early ceasefire and restoration of peace. China has played a constructive role in alleviating the humanitarian situation in Ukraine in our own way and will continue to provide help to Ukraine as much as possible.

The Ukraine side noted that it was a pleasure to welcome Special Representative Li Hui to Ukraine shortly after the telephone communication between the presidents of the two countries. Ukraine attaches importance to China's important role in international affairs as a permanent member of the UN Security Council. China is welcome to play a positive role in ending hostilities and restoring peace. Ukraine adheres to the one-China principle and is ready to work with China for new, greater advancement of bilateral relations.

"The Taiwan question and the Ukraine issue are different in nature and are not comparable at all."

AFP: I have a follow-up on Li Hui's visit to Ukraine. During the visit Li Hui urged Kiev to start talks with Moscow, but Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba insisted that his country's territorial integrity could not be broken as a result of any negotiations. So will China [?!] accept  Ukraine giving up parts of its territory if it would stop the fighting?
Wang Wenbin: I just shared with you China's position on the Ukraine issue. There is no panacea for defusing the crisis. All parties need to do their part to build up trust and create conditions for ceasefire and peace talks. China stands ready to work on the basis of the document of China's Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukraine Crisis, seek out the broadest common ground among the international community for settling the crisis, and contribute our part to an early ceasefire and restoration of peace.
