On August 1, 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference

Agence France -Presse reporter: New Zealand Prime Minister Aden demanded that China today condemn Russia's "invasion" for Ukraine. She also said that China has the responsibility to maintain international rules. What does the spokesman respond to this?

Zhao Lijian: There is a saying in the Western press. Only negative is news. I noticed that Prime Minister Adene also mentioned that he was willing to contact China and held a face -to -face interview. She also said that she was willing to lead the business delegation to visit China. She made a lot of positive statements in bilateral relations.

Regarding your problems, China ’s position on the Ukrainian crisis is consistent and clear. We call on the relevant party to achieve a ceasefire war through dialogue negotiations, and the international community should also create conditions and space for this.

Regarding Sino -new relations, China and New Zealand are important partners. In the past 50 years of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, the relationship between the two countries has made great progress, and many "firsts" of China's relations with developed countries have brought real benefits to the people of the two countries. Relations between the two countries have also become a model for different endowment resources, socio -economic systems and development stages. China is willing to go with the new party to take the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations as an opportunity to adhere to the principle of mutual respect and win -win cooperation, carry forward the spirit of "competing first", enhance mutual trust between the two parties, promote pragmatic cooperation, properly handle differences, and promote the new comprehensive strategic partnership between China and new strategic partnerships. Multiple results.
