On August 6, 2024, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui visited Indonesia, during which he held talks with Director General for American and European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia Umar Hadi, and the two sides had an exchange of views on the Ukraine crisis.
Noting that the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine still has escalation and spillover risks, Li Hui said the priority is for all parties to work together to cool down the situation. China and Brazil have jointly issued the six common understandings on this matter, which have received positive responses from the international community. China is ready to work with Indonesia to carry forward the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit, and jointly accumulate conditions for the early resumption of direct dialogue and negotiations between relevant parties.
Umar Hadi said that Indonesia speaks highly of China's leading role in promoting a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and appreciates the positive role of the six common understandings issued by China and Brazil. Indonesia is ready to work with China and relevant parties to uphold the principles of collectivity and inclusiveness and jointly find a solution to the crisis.
During the visit, Special Representative Li Hui also gave a written interview to Kompas, the largest and most widely circulated newspaper in Indonesia.
