“We offered China to become a partner in the implementation of the peace formula. We passed over our formula across all channels. We invite you to dialogue. We are waiting for your answer,” Zelensky told the press during a joint briefing in Kyiv with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
He added that: “We are receiving some signals, but there are no specifics yet”.
The Ukrainian leader also confirmed that he will participate in the upcoming G7 summit in Japan in May via video link.
“I accepted the prime minister’s invitation and will participate in the G7 summit in Hiroshima in an online format,” said Zelensky.
Later, during his daily evening address, Zelenky said that he had “productive talks” with the Japanese Prime Minister.
“Our talks with Mr Kishida were quite productive,” he said adding, “I also heard a very concrete willingness of Japan to work together with us to even more actively mobilise the world for international order, to protect against aggression, to protect against Russian terror.”
