China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi addresses the 79th United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York, US, Sept 28, 2024.UNITED NATIONS — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi sought to burnish his country's credentials as a global peacemaker at the United Nations General Assembly on Saturday , calling for a cessation of fighting in the Middle East and touting Beijing's diplomatic efforts on Russia's war in Ukraine.
"There must not be any delay in reaching a comprehensive ceasefire, and the fundamental way out lies in the two-state solution." "Peace is the most precious thing in our world today," Wang said at the UN "For the sake of peace, a single ray of hope is reason enough not to give up. The slightest chance deserves a hundredfold effort."Beijing's most significant peace effort is a proposal for talks to end the war in Ukraine.
At the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed China and Brazil's efforts, questioning why they were proposing an alternative to his own peace formula and warning: "You will not boost your power at Ukraine's expense." US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday that China promoting its peace efforts on Ukraine while also helping Moscow to produce missiles, rockets, armored vehicles and munitions "doesn't add up."
