"All conflicts have to end at the negotiating table. The earlier the talks start, the sooner peace will arrive," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in reply to a question on the Ukraine crisis from a CGTN reporter on Thursday.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks at a press conference held on the sidelines of the second session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing.
"All our efforts point to one goal, that is, to pave the way for ending the conflict and starting peace talks," Wang said.
Past experience shows that a conflict, when prolonged, tends to deteriorate and escalate, even to the extent unthinkable for parties concerned, he said.
In the absence of peace talks, misperception and miscalculation will accumulate and may lead to an even bigger crisis, Wang said, adding that lessons in this regard should not be forgotten.
"China supports the holding in due course of an international peace conference that is recognized by both Russia and Ukraine and ensures the equal participation of all parties and fair discussions on all peace plans," he added.
