China Declines Swiss Peace Summit on Ukraine, Backed by Kremlin

China has declined to attend a Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland next month, citing the absence of both Russia and Ukraine as participants. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that any international peace conference should include equal participation from both nations. Russia also dismissed the talks as meaningless without its involvement. China has previously proposed a 12-point plan for peace and has engaged in diplomatic efforts, but insists on fair and equal discussions for any peace proposals.
