Chinese President Xi Jinping could meet his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy next month, a Ukrainian delegate said in Beijing on Thursday as China opened its biggest annual military diplomacy event amid simmering regional tensions, APA reports citing Reuters.
Oleksandr Chalyi, a former deputy foreign minister of Ukraine, told one of the opening sessions of the three-day Xiangshan Forum that diplomacy had improved in recent months between Beijing and Kyiv, and that a meeting was now possible.
Noting Chinese efforts to help restore European security, Chalyi said "now all of us in Ukraine are waiting for some contacts, direct contacts between President Zelenskyy and President Xi".
Ukrainian Foreign Minister met his Chinese counterpart in Beijing in late July as Zelenskyy plots another possible summit in November, this time with Russian participation.
