"To persuade Russia to sit at the negotiating table": China can affect Ukraine's negotiations - France Foreign Ministry

To extend: French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro noted that Beijing is able to join the process by making serious and sound proposals. During a visit to Beijing on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barro stressed that China is able to influence Russia and, in particular, to encourage Moscow to negotiate a war in Ukraine. This was written on March 27 by Le Figaro.

Barro met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Van I. During a joint press conference, the French diplomat emphasized that Paris and Beijing should combine efforts to promote a just and prolonged peace in Ukraine. "China also has to play a role in convincing Russia to sit at the negotiation table with serious and fair proposals," Barro said. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, summarizing the meeting with Barro, did not mention Ukraine.

Instead, it was stated in the press release that foreign ministers discussed the relations between China and the EU, their development, economic issues and climate. It is worth recalling that on March 26, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed the details of the ceasefire agreement in the Black Sea. He noted that "difficult and difficult work" continues, and the only way to make progress is to negotiate with both parties and take into account possible compromises.
