China and France in a joint statement on Friday, announced their support for all efforts to restore peace in Ukraine on the basis of international law, and principles of the U.N. Charter, and opposed armed attacks on nuclear power plants, the official Xinhua News agency said on Friday.
The two countries reiterated that they are against attacks on peaceful nuclear plants and urged “all parts in the conflict” in Ukraine to abide by international humanitarian law.
The statement comes after a three-day visit by French leader Emmanuel Macron to the Asian nation. “I know I can count on you to bring Russia back to reason and everybody to the negotiation table,” Macron told Xi during a meeting in Beijing on Thursday.
