Russia and the United States have taken the first step toward normalizing relations, which inspire optimism, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told Russia’s RIA state news agency in remarks published on Tuesday.
“Russia and the United States have taken the first step toward normalizing relations, which is good for stabilizing the balance of power between major powers and inspires optimism in a disappointing international situation,” RIA cited Wang as saying.
Wang is on a three-day visit to Moscow for strategic cooperation talks, surrounded by uncertainty around the partial ceasefire in Ukraine and U.S. President Donald Trump striking a critical tone against the Russian and Ukrainian leaders.
China calls for the peace talks to continue, Wang told RIA in a wide-ranging interview.
“The step towards peace, although not that big, is constructive – it’s worth building on it,” Wang said. “With peace, it is no pain no gain. You need to work hard to achieve it.”
