Ukraine should function as a bridge between the East and the West, not a frontier in big power confrontation, the Ambassador of China to Cyprus, Liu Yantao, has told the Cyprus News Agency (CNA), stressing that “the Cold War mentality should be discarded completely.”
Moreover, he stressed that “China is prepared to continue playing a constructive role in facilitating dialogue for peace, and work alongside the international community to carry out necessary mediation, if it is needed.”
Asked about China`s position regarding the war in Ukraine and about Beijing`s role in addressing the situation, Liu said that “what is needed to solve complex issues is a cool head and a rational mind, not adding fuel to the fire, which only intensifies the situation.
