Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui on Friday visited South Africa, and exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis with South African officials.

Li is currently on a visit to Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia to carry out the fourth round of shuttle diplomacy on the crisis.

During the visit, Li met with Zane Dangor, director-general of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, and Adv Nokukhanya Jele, legal adviser to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Noting that the international community believes it is imperative to cool down the Ukraine crisis, Li said the six common understandings issued by China and Brazil on a political settlement of the crisis has received positive responses from more than 110 countries.

China is ready to strengthen communication and coordination with South Africa, and promote building international consensus on this issue based on the six common understandings, he said.

Appreciating China for carrying out shuttle diplomacy on the Ukraine crisis, the South African side called on the Global South to enhance collaboration, and create conditions for de-escalating the situation and ultimately achieving peace.

The South African side also voiced their support for the six common understandings, and pledged to work with China and Brazil to jointly promote common understandings within the multilateral framework.
