BEIJING, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Li Hui, special representative of the Chinese government on Eurasian affairs, will visit Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia from July 28 to carry out the fourth round of shuttle diplomacy on the Ukraine crisis, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said Friday.
Spokesperson Mao Ning made the announcement in response to a relevant query during a daily press briefing.
The Chinese side will further exchange views with important members of the Global South on the current situation and the process of peace talks, explore ways to cool down the situation and accumulate conditions for the resumption of peace talks, Mao said.
It has been nearly two and a half years since the Ukrainian crisis escalated in an all-around way, Mao said, adding that the war is still going on, the prospect of peace talks is still unclear, and there is a risk of further escalation and spillover of the conflict.
As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a responsible major country, China has always been firmly committed to promoting the political solution of the crisis, said Mao. ■
