According to Xinhua news agency, the Chinese leader had an in-depth exchange of views on the Ukraine crisis with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, while Mr. Scholz was on an official visit to Beijing.
“First, we should prioritize maintaining peace and stability and refrain from selfishly seeking benefits. Second, we should cool down the situation instead of adding fuel to the fire. Third, we should create conditions for restoring peace and refrain from further escalating tensions. Fourth, we should reduce the negative impact on the global economy and refrain from undermining the stability of global industrial and supply chains,” the news agency quoted the Chinese leader as saying.
According to TASS, Chancellor Scholz is on an official visit to Beijing from April 12. This is his second trip to China as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
