Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to a political solution for Ukraine during high-stakes talks at the Munich Security Conference this week. Meeting with Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, Wang emphasized China's role as Kyiv's #1 trading partner while pledging new humanitarian aid 🇺🇳.
'We'll maintain communication and work with the international community for an early resolution,' Wang stated, highlighting China's 2025 trade growth with Ukraine despite ongoing tensions. Sybiha acknowledged China's peace efforts, saying Kyiv 'looks forward to Beijing's important role in achieving a ceasefire.'
The talks come as global leaders scramble to address the protracted conflict. Wang noted 'encouraging progress' in recent diplomatic dialogues, while Ukraine reaffirmed its adherence to the one-China principle – a key diplomatic priority for Beijing.
With over 200+ countries and regions represented at the security conference, this meeting underscores China's balancing act: maintaining economic ties (🇨🇳-🇺🇦 trade hit $20B+ in 2025) while positioning as a neutral peace broker.
