Beijing, April 5

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he wants to “engage China towards a shared responsibility for peace” in Ukraine when he meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week.

French officials said earlier Macron planned to urge Xi in talks on Thursday to use Beijing’s influence with Russian President Vladimir Putin but didn’t expect a big shift in the Chinese position.
