UN, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang called for calm and restraint at an emergency Security Council meeting on Monday in connection with the alleged incursion of Russian fighter jets into Estonian airspace.
"China urges relevant parties to maintain calm and restraint, clarify facts and dispel doubts through dialogue and communication, avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments, and prevent the situation from expanding or escalating," he said.
According to the diplomat, China has always insisted that countries should follow the purposes and principles of the UN Charter when regulating international relations.
The incident in Estonian airspace and the drone incident in Poland are side effects of the Ukrainian crisis. They reflect a lack of mutual trust and growing suspicions between the parties, and illustrate the complex and sensitive nature of the current security situation in Europe, said Geng Shuang.
He emphasized that as long as the Ukrainian crisis remains unresolved and fighting continues, such incidents are likely to recur. Therefore, the urgent and fundamental solution is to quickly achieve a political settlement to the Ukrainian crisis and create a balanced, effective, and sustainable European security architecture.
During a meeting on Monday, Estonia accused Russia of violating its airspace on Friday. A Russian representative denied the accusation.
