Chinese President Xi Jinping said this in a video call with U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday, Xinhua reports.
The Chinese leader noted that since the first virtual conversation between the leaders of China and the United States, the prevailing trend of peace and development in the world " is facing serious challenges, and the world is neither tranquil nor stable."
"The Ukraine crisis is not something we want to see," Xi said.
Xi Jinping stressed that conflict and confrontation were not in anyone's interest, and peace and security are what the international community should treasure the most.
"As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the world's two leading economies, we must not only guide the China-U.S. relations forward along the right track, but also shoulder our share of international responsibilities and work for world peace and tranquility," China’s leader said.
