On Monday, he discussed Russia, Ukraine and European-Chinese trade with French President Emmanuel Macron. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to the Elysee Palace in Paris on Monday for talks on Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine and trade between China and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Xi arrived in France on Sunday for a rare European visit that included meeting with President Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Speaking at a press conference after the talks, Macron said he welcomed Chinese &#8220;commitments to refrain from selling any arms&#8221; or providing &#8220;any aide&#8221; to Russia in support of Moscow&#8217;s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>He said France and Europe &#8220;respect the ancient links which unite China and Russia&#8221; and therefore welcomed Beijing&#8217;s promise &#8220;to strictly control the exportation of double-usage goods&#8221; which could be used militarily. He said he was keen to &#8220;maintain a close dialogue&#8221; with Beijing and thanked Xi for coming to France to &#8220;coordinate&#8221; ahead of a visit by [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin to China.<\/p>\n<p>Insisting that the West &#8220;does not have a common goal to bring about regime change in Moscow,&#8221; he said he hoped his meeting with Xi &#8220;will allow [us] to follow a common agenda and identify whether or not there is a will for a durable peace.&#8221; Xi was quoted by Chinese state media as saying all parties wished to see a ceasefire, a return of peace in Europe and to avoid any further escalation, but he warned Macron not to &#8220;smear&#8221; China over the topic of Ukraine. &#8220;China did not create the Ukraine crisis, nor is it a party to it,&#8221; Xi told the press conference alongside Macron.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we have not been sat on the sidelines with our arms folded. We have always played a positive role to bring about peace. We reject the use of the Ukrainian crisis to cast blame upon others, smear third countries and unleash a new cold war. As history has repeatedly shown, conflicts can only be resolved by negotiations.&#8221; Xi said he would support an international peace conference including Russia and Ukraine &#8220;at the right time&#8221; and, according to Macron, agreed to back a proposal for a truce in all world conflicts during the Paris Olympics this summer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thank you for showing your desire during our talks to ask all parties to have an Olympic truce,&#8221; Macron said, adding that such a truce for &#8220;all theatres&#8221; of war could help achieve lasting peace in the conflicts. Xi is scheduled to visit Hungary and Serbia after his trip to France.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/macron-and-xi-discuss-russia-ukraine-and-trade\/a-69006394\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/macron-and-xi-discuss-russia-ukraine-and-trade\/a-69006394\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/macron-and-xi-discuss-russia-ukraine-and-trade\/\">Macron and Xi discuss Russia, Ukraine and trade<\/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],"tags":[1686,588,559,606,607,608,14428],"class_list":["post-130209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-macron","tag-russia","tag-ukraine","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-xi-jinping"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130209","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=130209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130209\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
