Ukraine's Foreign Minister to visit China this week in a 4-day visit to talk peace, Kyiv says

Foreign Minister
Dmytro Kuleba is set to begin a high-stakes visit to China on Tuesday, with the mission focused on a potential Chinese role in restoring peace in Ukraine.

The Chinese statement said Kuleba's visit would run from July 23 to 26 and provided less detail.

The trip is unusual as China is widely seen as close to the Kremlin, with which Beijing declared a "no limits" partnership in 2022 just days before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

“The main topic of discussion will be the search for ways to stop Russian aggression and China’s possible role in achieving a sustainable and just peace,”
 
--- the Ukrainian foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that both nations would also discuss the state of bilateral relations and prospects for development.

The four-day visit was initiated by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, according to statements from both country’s foreign ministries on Monday.
