In Peking, I met today with my Chinese counterpart Wang Yi for an exchange. Maintaining a good working relationship with China is in Austria’s interest. In the UN Security Council, we will work closely with China to tackle global challenges together. This also includes a sustainable peace in Ukraine. China wields considerable influence over Moscow in this regard and can make an important contribution to a peaceful solution.
It is precisely where differing perspectives exist that personal conversations are particularly important. This is exactly what enables us to address difficult topics and take a clear stance when our Austrian and European interests are at stake.
