On the evening of February 15, 2025 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha at the latter's request on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

Wang Yi said that China-Ukraine friendship has a traditional foundation. The two countries established a strategic partnership in 2011, and bilateral relations maintain normal development. In recent years, China has been Ukraine's largest trading partner. This is a hard-won outcome under the current circumstances and demonstrates the potential and space for cooperation between the two sides. China regards Ukraine as a friend and partner, and always views and advances China-Ukraine relations from a long-term perspective. China is ready to work with Ukraine to eliminate unfavorable factors, advance bilateral relations, and carry out practical cooperation. Wang Yi expressed the hope that the Ukrainian side will continue to ensure the safety of Chinese institutions and personnel in Ukraine.

On the Ukraine crisis, Wang Yi said that China has always been working for peace and promoting negotiations. Facts and the development of the situation have once again proven that the principles and propositions put forward by President Xi Jinping, including the four points on what must be done and three observations about the crisis, are objective, impartial, rational, and pragmatic. China will continue to follow these principles and play a constructive role in the political settlement of the crisis and the realization of peace. China supports all efforts dedicated to peace and expects a fair, lasting and binding peace agreement accepted by all parties concerned. The Group of "Friends for Peace", initiated by China and countries of the Global South, will continue to pool consensus for promoting peace talks.

Andrii Sybiha said that Ukraine and China have maintained contact and communication, and the people of both countries enjoy friendly relations. Mutually beneficial cooperation between Ukraine and China has brought benefits to the people of both countries. Ukraine strictly abides by the one-China principle, and is ready to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China and further deepen the strategic partnership between the two countries. Ukraine will continue to make every effort to protect the safety of Chinese institutions and citizens. Ukraine attaches great importance to the influence of China as a major country, appreciates China's objective and balanced position, and expects China to play an important role in achieving comprehensive, just and sustainable peace.
