“Conflict and confrontation it is not in anyone’s interestChinese President Xi Jinping told US President Joe Biden in a communication on Friday, according to Chinese state media.
“State-state relations cannot go to the stage of military confrontation. Conflict and confrontation is not in anyone’s interest. “Peace and security are the most beloved treasures of the international community,” Xi was quoted as saying by China’s CCTV network.
“As permanent members of the UN Security Council and the two largest economies in the world, we must not only guide the development of Sino-US relations, but also shoulder our international responsibilities and work for world peace and calm “added the president of China.
“People are neither peaceful nor calm,” Xi said. “The crisis in Ukraine it’s something we do not want to see. “
The communication between the two leaders of the most powerful countries in the world is their first known discussion in months.
It comes days after a US diplomatic telegram claimed that China had expressed a willingness to provide Russia with requested military and financial assistance as part of its war against Ukraine.
It is not yet clear whether China intends to provide such assistance to Russia, US intelligence officials told CNN earlier this week. “This is part of our ongoing effort to maintain open lines of communication between the United States and the PRC,” Psaki said, using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
