Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Tuesday called for "calmness, rationality and dialogue" to solve the Ukraine crisis, which he termed a tragedy that could have been avoided.
He made the remarks at a press conference held on the sidelines of the first session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing.
Qin said the Ukraine crisis has come to a critical juncture, and conflict, sanctions and pressure won't solve it.
