The end point of any conflict is negotiation and China welcomes all efforts committed to peace.

Axar.az reports that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made the remarks at the ongoing Munich Security Conference.

Regarding China's position on the Ukraine crisis, Wang said China has always advocated dialogue, consultation and political settlement.

China did not create the Ukraine crisis, nor is it a party to the crisis, yet China neither stood idle nor took advantage of the crisis, he said, adding that China has consistently called for resolving the crisis through dialogue and consultation.

The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be observed, the legitimate security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously, and all efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the crisis should be supported, Wang stressed.

The Chinese foreign minister said Europe needs to play a role for peace, jointly solve the root causes of the crisis, find a balanced, effective and sustainable security framework, and achieve long-term peace and stability in the continent.
