Xi: Get ties back on right track

Xi said that all parties should support peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The US and NATO should also develop dialogue with Russia to resolve the crux of the Ukraine crisis and alleviate the security concerns of both Russia and Ukraine, he added.

Xi warned against exercising all-around, nondiscriminatory sanctions, saying that if further escalated, sanctions will incur a serious crisis in global trade, finance, energy, food and industrial chains, damage the people's well-being and worsen the slowing world economy.

He called for calmness and reason amid the complex Ukraine situation, and urged efforts to create room for peace through political resolution of the crisis.

China has been making every effort to promote peace and will continue to play a positive role in the resolution of the Ukraine issue, Xi said, adding that the country will continue to provide further humanitarian aid to Ukraine and other affected countries.

Biden briefed Xi about the US position on the Ukraine crisis, saying that Washington is willing to communicate with Beijing on the issue to prevent the crisis from escalating.

Both presidents said the video call was constructive, and they urged work teams from both countries to take concrete actions to get China-US ties back on the track of stable development and make their own efforts to help properly resolve the Ukraine crisis.
