Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping for talks. This invitation was given in a letter written to Xi Jinping in view of the one-year anniversary of the Russian operation in Ukraine. Al-Jazeera news.
Zelensky's wife, Olena Zelenska, said on Wednesday that the letter was handed over to the Chinese delegation at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
Zelensky has repeatedly tried to contact Xi Jinping since the start of Russian operations in Ukraine in February last year. His hope is that Beijing will be able to influence Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelenska told reporters that a courtesy letter had been sent to invite her to sit in the dialogue. He expressed great hope that there will be a response to this invitation.
Before Russian President Putin ordered the operation in Ukraine in February last year, China and Russia had previously declared a 'boundless' partnership. Beijing has been showing a neutral position in the Ukraine war. At the same time, China is deepening its relations with Moscow. The relationship between the two countries is deepening especially in the energy sector.
But some analysts say China could eventually act as a mediator in talks to end fighting in Ukraine.
Last September, then-Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi expressed concern about the economic impact of the war in Ukraine. He urged all the warring parties to ensure that the situation does not go out of control.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post in August, Zelensky said he had made a formal offer to negotiate with Xi. He expressed hope that this discussion will be helpful.
The foreign ministers of the two countries participated in a meeting during the United Nations General Session in New York last September.
