President of Poland Andrzej Duda is embarking on a five-day visit to China to discuss the situation in Ukraine and strengthen bilateral economic relations. During his visit, he plans to meet with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Zhao Leji.
Peace in Ukraine – key topic
The main topic of the negotiations will be peace in Ukraine. Duda believes that China’s position is crucial for achieving peace in the region. He emphasized that the key to peace in Ukraine is “largely” in Beijing. According to him, China, as a global power, can play an important role in stabilizing the situation in Ukraine.
“One Belt, One Road” and Ukraine
Duda also plans to discuss the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, which is of great importance for infrastructure development and transportation links between China and Europe. Ukraine is an important element of this project, but one of the routes passing through its territory is currently not being used due to military actions. The Polish president believes that stability in Ukraine will open up new opportunities for implementing this massive project.
Poland as a key partner
Poland plays an important role in the context of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative. Duda emphasized the significance of Warsaw’s position for Beijing, as Poland is a crucial transportation hub between Europe and Asia. He hopes that China will take into account Polish interests and support peaceful initiatives regarding Ukraine.
Political influence on Belarus
Another important issue on the agenda will be the situation on the border with Belarus. Duda believes that Beijing can influence the Lukashenko regime, which would help weaken hybrid actions against Poland. China’s influence on Belarus can help stabilize the situation in the region and improve security on the Polish-Belarusian border.
This visit promises to be a significant event in international politics, as Poland seeks to engage China in actively addressing the conflict in Ukraine and strengthening regional stability.
