Is the Ukraine crisis nearing a breakthrough? The Group of Friends for Peace, a coalition of Global South nations including China and Brazil, says recent developments hint at a pivotal ‘turning point’ in the conflict. 🕊️
Diplomacy Takes Center Stage
At a meeting in New York, members stressed the urgency of a negotiated political solution to end the fighting, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun. The group urged all parties to ‘play a constructive role’ and find a peace agreement addressing everyone’s concerns.
Global South Voices Amplified
Launched in 2023, the Group of Friends for Peace aims to amplify underrepresented perspectives in global diplomacy. Since last September, they’ve rallied support for dialogue under the UN Charter’s principles, ensuring the views of developing nations shape the path forward. 🌏🤝
Guo emphasized China’s commitment to collaborating internationally to make ‘rational voices for peace talks’ heard—a push toward ending bloodshed and building lasting stability.
