At the 23rd Lanting Forum in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated China’s stance on the ongoing conflicts in Palestine and Ukraine, emphasizing the need for peace, dialogue, and international cooperation. Addressing the Middle East situation, Wang Yi welcomed the first-phase agreement regarding the Gaza conflict, which has helped alleviate the humanitarian crisis. However, he cautioned that regional peace remains fragile. China advocates for a sincere, comprehensive, and lasting ceasefire, stressing the importance of Palestinian self-governance and the pursuit of a two-state solution to ensure enduring peace and stability. Recently, China has expressed hope for a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza to further improve the humanitarian situation and reduce regional tensions, underscoring its commitment to supporting Palestinian self-determination and promoting Middle Eastern stability. Regarding the Ukraine crisis, Wang Yi reaffirmed China’s objective and impartial position, highlighting its active support for peace negotiations and willingness to collaborate with the international community to advance peace efforts. In April 2025, China urged the involved parties in the Ukraine war to avoid irresponsible remarks after Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed that Chinese citizens were recruited by Russia to fight. China reiterated its neutral stance and dedication to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Wang Yi emphasized the importance of maintaining a world of universal and shared security as a fundamental responsibility of the international community, calling for the avoidance of escalation and the pursuit of peaceful solutions to conflicts.
