Wang said that top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi met with a special advisor to Brazilian president on Thursday in Beijing. They had an in-depth exchange of views on the Ukraine crisis, and reached six common understandings.

These six common understandings reflect not just the joint position of China and Brazil, but also the widespread concern and genuine desire of the vast international community for promoting political settla ement of the Ukraine crisis, the spokesperson added.

With the full-blown Ukraine crisis now in its third year, the fighting has shown no sign of stopping and generated more spillovers, the spokesperson said, adding that it is widely believed that the pressing priority is to cool down the situation and accumulate conditions for ceasefire.

"Many developing countries, including China and Brazil, have called for upholding an objective and just position on the Ukraine crisis," he said.

All of these countries believe that dialogue and negotiation is the only viable way out of the crisis, he added.
