The question of Ukraine involves a complex history that has a bearing on contemporary issues. The parties concerned should address the root of the problem and find a fundamental solution. While the legitimate rights, interests and claims of all regions and ethnic groups in Ukraine should be fully accommodated, attention must be given to addressing the legitimate concerns of the parties and to achieving a balance of interests among all parties. A political solution is the only proper way to solve the question of Ukraine. China hopes that the parties concerned will continue to implement the Minsk agreements, to further carry out constructive efforts and interaction and to launch as soon as possible an inclusive dialogue that will reach a balanced, durable and comprehensive political settlement of the question of Ukraine.

«A fundamental solution of the Ukrainian issue lies in taking into full account the legitimate rights and aspirations of all regions and ethnic groups of Ukraine, while paying attention to settling the reasonable concerns of all the parties involved, so that the interests of all parties can be balanced,» he said.
