Preparations for the peace summit do not meet China's demands, which complicates its participation in the event.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning stated that Beijing's refusal to participate in the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland is due to the fact that the planned event does not meet its expectations.
Reuters writes about this.
“The preparations for the meeting are still far from meeting China’s demands and the general expectations of the international community, which complicates China’s participation,” Mao Ning said at a regular briefing.
She noted that China has always insisted that the international peace conference must be approved by both Russia and Ukraine. China believes that “the parties to the conflict” should participate in the summit “so that all peace proposals are discussed on a fair and equal basis.”
“Otherwise, it will be difficult for China to play a significant role in restoring peace,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman emphasized.
A representative of the Ukrainian Embassy in Beijing commented on China’s refusal to participate in the Peace Summit. He said that the Ukrainian side was “very sorry” that Beijing did not want to take the opportunity to present its position on the event platform
Recall that Beijing’s refusal to participate in the Peace Summit in Switzerland is due to the absence of the Russian delegation at the event. Indeed, among the conditions for China's participation was recognition by both Ukraine and Russia.
