The negotiations between Ukrainian and Chinese delegation

It is known that Sybiha met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. According to Sybiha, these were the third negotiations and the second on the sidelines of the Munich Conference.

"I would like to remind you that China is currently Ukraine's top trading partner. Last year, our trade reached 21 billion dollars, so we are interested in continuing this profitable economic cooperation," the minister noted.

He added that next year marks 35 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Sybiha invited the Chinese foreign minister to Ukraine. In addition, Wang Yi extended an invitation to him.

"We believe that China can play an important role in bringing about a just peace for Ukraine. We appreciate China's support of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
