China-US should share world responsibilities: Xi Jinping tells Joe Biden over Ukraine crisis
Beijing/IBNS: Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday called US president Joe Biden and said war is "in no one's interest" amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine which has resulted in a huge global crisis.
According to reports, the US president aimed to pressurise Beijing into joining Western condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The 1:50 hour-long phone call ended at 10:53 am in Washington (1453 GMT), the White House told the media.
State broadcaster CCTV reported Xi Jinping as saying during the call that "state-to-state relations cannot go to the stage of military hostilities."
China and the United States should "shoulder international responsibilities," Xi Jinping was quoted as saying.
He reportedly said, "peace and security are the most valued treasures of the international community."
