China to attend Saudi Arabia talks on Ukraine4 Aug 2023 16:04
This was reported by Sky news an hour ago. I think China attending is a good sign at some point this senseless war has to end and China are possibly the only country Putin will listen to.
“We reported a few days ago that Jeddah in Saudi Arabia will hold international talks this weekend on how to bring an end to the war in Ukraine.
Similar talks were held in Copenhagen at the end of June - none of the notable absences was China, which declined the invitation.
Well China has just confirmed that it will be attending in Saudi Arabia.
Its foreign ministry says it will be represented by special envoy for Eurasia Affairs Li Hui.
China has long been insisted it is neutral on the conflict.
Beijing has stressed that Ukraine's territorial integrity must be respected, but at the same time has not condemned the invasion, abstained during UN votes on the war, and has criticised Western sanctions.
Russia has reportedly not been invited to the Jeddah talks.
On Wednesday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he hoped this weekend's summit will pave the way for a Russia-Ukraine peace summit this autumn”
