*** *** China and the EU share many common languages in pursuing peace, development and cooperation. We should take responsibility and inject more stability and certainty into a turbulent and changing world. The two sides should strengthen dialogue, adhere to cooperation and promote the stability and long-term development of China EU relations. China's development will bring more space for China EU cooperation. The two sides should continue to deepen the green and digital partnership and practical cooperation in various fields based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win results. The two sides should continue to adhere to multilateralism and advance the major global agenda. Macron and Scholz expressed their congratulations on China's successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Today's world faces many challenges. Fighting alone will only worsen the situation. The EU attaches importance to China's important and positive role in world affairs and is willing to work closely with China to solve major global challenges such as climate change and public health. The EU side is willing to work with China to successfully hold the EU China Summit and promote the continuous development of France China, Germany China and EU China relations. The two sides focused on exchanging views on the current situation in Ukraine. Macron and Scholtz introduced their views and positions on the current situation in Ukraine, saying that Europe is facing the most serious crisis since World War II. France and Germany support the settlement of the problem through negotiation and give peace a chance. We thank China for its initiative on the humanitarian situation and are willing to strengthen communication and coordination with China to promote peace and talks, so as to avoid further escalation of the situation and more serious humanitarian crisis. *** China holds that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries should be respected, the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations should be respected, the legitimate security concerns of all countries should be paid attention to, and all efforts conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis should be supported. The top priority is to prevent tensions from escalating or even getting out of control. China appreciates the efforts made by France and Germany to mediate the situation in Ukraine, is willing to maintain communication and coordination with France, Germany and the EU, and play an active role with the international community according to the needs of all parties concerned. *** We would like to call for maximum restraint to prevent large-scale humanitarian crises. China has put forward a six point initiative on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and is willing to provide further humanitarian material assistance to Ukraine. We should work together to reduce the negative impact of the crisis. The relevant sanctions will have an impact on the stability of global finance, energy, transportation and supply chain, drag down the world economy under the weight of the epidemic, and are detrimental to all parties. We should actively advocate a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept. China supports France and Germany to proceed from Europe's own interests, for the sake of Europe's lasting security, adhere to Strategic Autonomy, and promote the construction of a balanced, effective and sustainable European security framework. China is also happy to see equal dialogue between Europe, Russia, the United States and NATO. The two sides also exchanged views on the Iranian nuclear issue.
