Beijing: G20 is for international economic cooperation, not for geopolitical, security issues

Reuters: Does China support the lack of direct criticism of Russia in the G20 statement? And does China think the softer G20 language would help in ending the conflict in Ukraine? Mao Ning: China’s position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and clear. The G20 leaders’ declaration is the result of consensus through consultation and reflects the common understanding of all members. The New Delhi Summit reaffirms that the G20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation, not a platform to resolve geopolitical and security issues. We always believe that the key to the final resolution of the Ukraine crisis lies in discarding the Cold War mentality, attaching importance to and respecting all sides’ legitimate security concerns, and seeking a political solution through dialogue and negotiation. China will stay committed to promoting peace talks and work together with the international community for the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.  __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
