Norway urges China to help bring Russia to Ukraine peace talks
Norway said China has direct access to Moscow and should use it to push Russia toward ceasefire talks without preconditions, officials said.
- On Monday, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere urged China to use its ties to Russian leadership to help broker a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine, meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang in Oslo.
- Following stops in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, Foreign Minister Wang visited Oslo, where Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide characterized dialogue on ending the war as 'constructive and promising'.
- Stoere asserted China possesses the 'best and most direct access' to Russian leadership, adding that the war limits potential for deeper cooperation between Europe and China.
- Norwegian officials proposed negotiations begin with a ceasefire along current front lines, which Stoere called 'a major concession from Ukraine's side' since the lines sit inside Ukrainian territory.
- President Donald Trump said Monday that a resolution to the war is 'getting closer than people realize,' with discussions planned during the NATO summit in Turkey this week.
