/ world today news/ The Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the UN, Geng Shuang, called for an immediate end to the hostilities in Ukraine. “We are deeply concerned by the prolongation of the crisis in Ukraine and the raging flames of war that continue to cause untold devastation as we approach the New Year.” There are no winners in any conflict or war. They cause nothing but profound suffering to innocent people and enormous damage to regional peace and stability, and will only exacerbate the existing difficulties facing global economic development, especially for developing countries in implementing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” he said after yesterday’s UN Security Council meeting.
“We once again call on the parties to respond positively to the international community’s appeal for peace, strengthen engagement, expand the common position and bring an early end to hostilities.” We also renew the call to all stakeholders to step up diplomatic mediation with a greater sense of urgency and work together to create favorable conditions for an early political settlement of the crisis,” the diplomat pointed out.
According to Geng Shuang, “China will continue to stand on the side of peace and dialogue and is committed to promoting and facilitating peace negotiations and making positive contributions to the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.”
On two consecutive days – Friday and Saturday – the Security Council held emergency meetings dedicated to the massive Russian attack with missiles and drones in Ukraine and the subsequent Ukrainian counterattack against the Russian border city of Belgorod.
