Macron: China and France have common goal: ‘lasting and stable peace’ in Ukraine
On the eve of his visit to Southeast Asia, French President Emmanuel Macron held a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping, after which, in particular, he stated that France and China have a common goal: "a lasting and stable peace" in Ukraine.
"In our response to Russia's war in Ukraine, we have a common goal: a lasting, stable peace. The first step is an immediate and unconditional ceasefire," he wrote on the social network X on Thursday.
Macron is set to arrive in Hanoi on Sunday, the first trip to Vietnam by a French president in nearly a decade, move on to Indonesia and finish up in Singapore, where he will speak at the annual Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia's top defence conference.
