Three-hour talks between Kuleba and Wang Yi conclude in China

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi have concluded talks that lasted more than three hours.

Reuters reports this, citing a source from the Ukrainian minister’s delegation.

“The talks have just ended. In total, they lasted more than three hours, longer than planned. It was a very deep and concrete conversation», — the text says.

Ukraine has told China it is open to talks with Russia if Moscow acts in good faith.

Kuleba told Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Kyiv is open to negotiations with Russia if Moscow is ready to do so in good faith, which Kyiv sees no evidence of at this time.

“Kuleba reiterated that Kyiv is ready to engage the Russian side in the negotiation process at a certain stage, when Russia is ready to negotiate in good faith, but stressed that so far there is no such readiness on the Russian side.»

At a press conference in Beijing, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that the two ministers spoke of the need for a long-term view of bilateral ties and that China “will continue to expand food imports from Ukraine.”
