Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The G20 is the main forum for international economic cooperation, not a platform for addressing geopolitical and security issues
On September 11th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, does China support the G20 statement not directly criticizing Russia? Does China believe that the G20 will help end the conflict in Ukraine?
Mao Ning stated that China's position on the Ukraine issue has always been clear. The declaration of the G20 Leaders Summit was reached through consultation and consensus among all parties, reflecting the consensus of member states. This summit once again confirms that the G20 is the main forum for international economic cooperation, not a platform for addressing geopolitical and security issues. We always believe that the ultimate solution to the Ukrainian crisis lies in abandoning Cold War thinking, valuing and respecting the concerns of all parties, and finding a political solution through dialogue and negotiation.
