Chinese President Xi Jinping held a phone call with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday ahead of an expected summit between the latter and US President Donald Trump.
Putin briefed Xi on the recent communication between Russia and the US and said Russia was ready to keep close communication with China, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
Xi said China welcomed continued contact between Russia and the US to improve their relations and to push towards a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.
Xi said complicated issues did not have a simple solution. He added that China would continue its long-standing position of supporting talks to resolve regional conflicts.
The state broadcaster also quoted Putin as reaffirming that the comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination between China and Russia “would not change under any circumstances”.
The Kremlin said on Thursday that Putin and Trump had agreed to meet in the “coming days” to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
