According to the Ukrainian president, the meeting took a long time. The head of state expressed hope that communication with the Chinese leader will give a strong impetus to the development of relations between the two countries.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky had a telephone conversation with President of China Xi Jinping. In this regard, on Wednesday, April 26, reported The leader of Ukraine on his Twitter account.
The President of Ukraine described the meeting with the President of the People’s Republic of China as long and meaningful.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, “I had a long and meaningful phone conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping. I believe that the appointment of him and the Chinese ambassador to Ukraine will give a strong impetus to the development of our bilateral relations.”
What does the Chinese press write about Zelensky’s meeting with Xi Jinping?
It should be noted that the Chinese media reported very cautiously without giving any details about the meeting. Thus, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua simply reported “Xi, Zelensky made a phone call.”
Recall, on April 18, Bloomberg wrote that the war in Ukraine might in a way suit Chinese President Xi Jinping, so the phone call between the Chinese leader and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky still hadn’t taken place at that time.
We also remember that Fu Cong, China’s Ambassador to the European Union, said on April 5 that the “friendship” that everyone was talking about between Beijing and Moscow was just rhetorical and that China had never sided with Russia.
Earlier on April 4, China announced that Beijing is ready to discuss a joint solution of the situation in Ukraine with the EU.
