According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, it was not just a protocol invitation, which is usually made during any visit, but a ‘real invitation’.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent an invitation to the head of Chinese diplomacy, Wang Yi, to come to Ukraine to see the consequences of Russian aggression with his own eyes. This was announced at a briefing by the spokesperson for the Ukrainian diplomatic agency, Heorhiy Tykhyi.
According to him, this was not just a protocol invitation, which is usually made during any visit, but a ‘real invitation’.
‘We are ready to welcome Minister Wang Yi to Ukraine so that he can see with his own eyes the consequences of Russian aggression against our country and to have deeper bilateral conversations with him on a number of regional and bilateral issues,’ the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
Tykhyi assured that the Chinese representatives were interested in the proposal. However, the hypothetical date of the visit is unknown.
On 23 July, Kuleba announced his arrival in China. According to him, this is the first full-fledged bilateral visit of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister to Beijing in 12 years.
