Iran Press/ Asia: Speaking at a gathering of the French community in Beijing, Emmanuel Macron said France would seek to work with China 'in this shared responsibility for peace and stability' in Ukraine.
"China, with its close relationship with Russia, which has been reaffirmed in recent days, can play a major role,” the French President said on his first visit to China since 2019.
Speaking to journalists after his remarks, Macron said: “We have decided since the beginning of the conflict to help the victim, and we have also made it very clear that anyone helping the aggressor would be an accomplice in breach of international law.”
Macron is expected to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, on Thursday.
Macron arrived in Beijing on a three-day visit to China. The President of the European Commission, Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, is accompanying Macron on this trip as a way to demonstrate unity among Europeans.
