"we participated in this meeting as an observer and we support the relevant situation." nicolas bidot, spokesman for the swiss federal ministry of foreign affairs, told reuters on the 28th. he said that switzerland’s view on the consensus on the political settlement of the ukraine crisis issued by china and pakistan in may this year has changed. “for us, this represents a significant shift in how we think about these initiatives,” beador said. “we may be interested in specific diplomatic efforts organized by china and pakistan.”
according to the website of the ministry of foreign affairs of china, on may 23, 2024, wang yi, member of the political bureau of the central committee of the communist party of china and minister of foreign affairs, met with amorim, chief special advisor to the president of brazil, in beijing. the two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on promoting a political solution to the ukrainian crisis and calling for the cooling of the situation and reached a six-point consensus. both sides welcome members of the international community to support and join the above consensus and jointly play a constructive role in cooling down the situation, promoting peace and promoting talks.
according to a report by the swiss "swissinfo" website, bideau said in a conversation with another swiss media on the 27th that switzerland supports the principles of the china-brazil initiative because the initiative calls for a ceasefire and a political settlement of the russia-ukraine conflict. bidow said the initiative was important because it provided an alternative to the conflicting rhetoric both ukraine and russia made at the united nations this week.
in addition, the "swissinfo" website stated that switzerland has always emphasized the importance of referencing the united nations charter in peace initiatives. bideau said that china mentioned the importance of the united nations charter in peace initiatives at the united nations security council this week. in the view of the swiss ministry of foreign affairs, the china-pakistan peace initiative is also in line with the framework of the united nations charter.
on september 27, local time, at the ministerial meeting of the "friends of peace" group on the ukraine crisis held at the united nations headquarters in new york, wang yi, member of the political bureau of the cpc central committee and foreign minister, said that brazil, china, south africa, egypt, indonesia, turkey, etc. the country, as a “global south” partner committed to a political solution to the ukrainian crisis, agreed to launch the “friends of peace” initiative on the ukrainian crisis on the united nations platform. "friends of peace" is not trying to choose sides in conflicts, nor is it trying to engage in group confrontation, nor is it trying to replace existing platforms. we hope to rely on the united nations to bring together more countries from the "global south" and make more objective, balanced and rational voices to accumulate conditions and create an atmosphere for a ceasefire, an end to war, and the resumption of peace talks. "friends of peace" is open and welcomes more like-minded countries, especially those from the "global south" to join.
