Scholz said after a meeting with Xi in Beijing on Tuesday that \u201cChina\u2019s word carries weight in Russia\u201d. \u201cI have therefore asked President Xi to influence Russia so that Putin finally calls off his senseless campaign, withdraw his troops and ends this terrible war,\u201d he said on social media platform X. Scholz said Xi had agreed to back a peace conference in Switzerland, which is due to take place in June without Russia in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, responded on X that China could help deliver a \u201cjust peace\u201d for his country by playing an \u201cactive role\u201d in the international conference. Xi, however, appeared to dismiss the meeting in Switzerland, saying efforts towards a peaceful resolution should be recognised by both sides and include equal participation by all parties. Russia has dismissed any such meeting as meaningless without Moscow\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n<p>China says it is a neutral party in the Ukraine conflict but has been criticised for refusing to condemn Moscow\u2019s offensive. China and Russia have ramped up economic cooperation and diplomatic contacts in recent years, with their strategic partnership only growing closer since the invasion of Ukraine. Scholz said in Tuesday\u2019s talks with Xi that \u201cthe Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and Russia\u2019s arms build-up have a very significant negative impact on security in Europe\u201d, according to a recording provided by the chancellor\u2019s office. \u201cThey directly affect our core interests,\u201d he told Xi, adding they \u201cdamage the entire international order because they violate a principle of the United Nations charter\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Scholz, whose country is Ukraine\u2019s second-biggest military backer after the US, stressed at a news conference later that it was important to &#8216;advance the diplomatic efforts that Ukraine is also working very hard on&#8217;. \u201cI believe that this progress is necessary because, in addition to the military support for Ukraine from Germany and its allies, there is also a need for a dialogue between the two countries,\u201d he said. Chinese state media, in turn, said Xi had highlighted the importance of ties in the face of \u201cincreasing risks and challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/apr\/17\/german-chancellor-urges-xi-jinping-to-press-russia-to-end-ukraine-war-saying-chinas-word-carries-weight\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/yleinen\/131145\/\">German chancellor urges Xi Jinping to press Russia to end Ukraine war, saying \u2018China\u2019s word carries weight\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[758,1038,588,606,607,608,655],"class_list":["post-129815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-china","tag-germany","tag-russia","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129815\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
