    Macron says he will visit China in ‘early April’

    PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron announced Saturday (Feb 25) that he would visit China in early April, urging Beijing to help “put pressure” on Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

    Speaking a day after Beijing called for urgent peace talks and released a plan to end the year-long conflict, Macron said: “the fact that China is engaging in peace efforts is a good thing”.

    On Friday, China released a 12-point position paper on the conflict calling for urgent peace talks and a “political settlement” to the Ukraine crisis.

    Several Western powers rebuffed the proposals and also warned against Beijing’s close ties to Moscow.

    Talking on the sidelines of an agricultural show in Paris, the French leader said peace was only possible if “Russian aggression was halted, troops withdrawn, and the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine and its people was respected”.

    Timed to coincide with the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Chinese paper urges all parties to “support Russia and Ukraine in working in the same direction and resuming direct dialogue as quickly as possible”.

    It also makes clear its opposition to not only the use of nuclear weapons, but the threat of deploying them, after Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to use Moscow’s atomic arsenal in the conflict.

    Macron urged Beijing “not to supply any arms to Russia” and sought Beijing’s help to “exert pressure on Russia to ensure it never uses chemical or nuclear weapons and it stops this aggression prior to negotiations”.
