European Council President Charles Michel will enquire to China straight at the United Nations Security Council to make more efforts in order to encourage Russia towards a “just peace” in Ukraine, according to his draft speech seen by Reuters at the UNGA. At the Security Council meeting which took place on Wednesday whilst the yearly high-level U.N. General Assembly in New York, Michel will call for “a just peace that admires the U.N. Charter and its most fundamental rules — the areal cohesion of a supreme country.
“Michel will then turn directly to the Chinese delegation to convey: “Being responsible countries, let’s collaborate forces – to encourage Russia to end this destructive and harmful war that is causing endless problems to so many,” the draft reveals. China’s Vice President Han Zheng is in New York for the yearly gathering of world governers for the UNGA, and is right now anticipated to attend the meeting of the 15-member council for China, diplomats said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is also anticipated to attend the council meeting.
China has refrained from votes by the 193-member U.N. General Assembly that passionately asked that Moscow bring back its troops from Ukraine and end war . Russia conquered its adjacent nation in February 2022. China’s abstentions seemed to show a bid to stay on the diplomatic fence over the war in Ukraine. Beijing has said the independence and areal safety of all nations must be recognised and appreciated, but – in a nod to Russia’s discomfort about NATO – believes all safety concerns should be taken care of.
