JAKARTA - President Xi Jinping said on Monday the proposal to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict submitted by China, reflects global views and seeks to neutralize existing consequences although he admits it is not easy.

In an article published ahead of his visit to Moscow, the first visit by a world leader since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, Xi's leader also called for "pragmatism" regarding Ukraine.

China's proposal, a 12-point paper released last month, represents "as much as possible the unity of world society's views," President Xi wrote in an article in Rossiiskaya Gazeta.

"This document serves as a constructive factor in neutralizing the consequences of the crisis and promoting political resolution. Complex problems have no simple solutions."

A peaceful resolution to the situation in Ukraine, wrote President Xi, would also "ensure global production stability and supply chains."

Furthermore, he called for a "rational way" to get out of this crisis, which would "be found if everyone was guided by the concept of mutual, comprehensive, joint and sustainable security, as well as continuing dialogue and consultation in an equal, wise and pragmatic way."

President Xi said his visit to Russia was aimed at strengthening the friendship between the two countries, "a partnership that includes all and strategic interactions," in the world threatened by "hegemony, despotism and oppression measures."

"There is no universal government model and there is no world order, where the defining word belongs to one country," wrote President Xi.

"Global solidarity and peace without division and upheaval are the common interests of all mankind," he said.

It is known that President Xi is seeking to feature China as the initiator of global peace, projecting it as a major force responsible.

China itself has publicly remained neutral in the Ukraine conflict, despite criticizing Western sanctions against Russia and reaffirming its close ties to Moscow.

Meanwhile, the United States and NATO recently accused China of considering supplying weapons to Russia, warning Beijing against doing so. The accusations were immediately dismissed by China.
