Dmytro Kuleba is the highest-ranking Ukrainian official to visit China since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which Beijing has not publicly condemned.
"The negotiations have just ended. In total, they lasted more than three hours, longer than planned. It was a very deep and concrete conversation," a Ukrainian source in the delegation told Reuters.
In his opening remarks at the meeting, Kuleba said he expected "thorough and substantive negotiations on bilateral relations, the international agenda and, most importantly, the path to peace.
