Beijing [China], May 15 (ANI): A top Chinese envoy is starting a tour of Europe under which he will first go to Ukraine and then to Russia according to Al-Jazeera, which reported that Beijing aims to explore a “political settlement” on the Ukraine issue.
According to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry last week, Li Hui, the country’s special representative for Eurasian affairs since 2019 and a former ambassador to Russia, will also travel to Poland, France, and Germany during the multiday trip “for in-depth communications with different parties for a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis.”Li, a fluent Russian speaker, will be the most senior Chinese official to visit Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. His visit could coincide with the beginning of Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive to recapture territory seized and occupied by Russia, as per Al-Jazeera.
