Li Hui

Li Hui, China's Special Envoy, has been actively involved in mediating the conflict in Ukraine, proposing dialogues and negotiations, though without introducing new peace initiatives. His efforts include shuttle diplomacy aimed at fostering a political solution and organizing peace summits with stakeholders, reflecting China's strategic diplomatic engagement. Despite Li Hui's engagements, there remains a crucial divergence between the European Union and China on the resolution principles, with recent talks highlighting the differences in approach towards Russia's activities in Ukraine. Additionally, international responses to the Sino-Brazilian peace plan, which Li Hui spearheaded, have been mixed, with more than 110 countries reportedly showing initial support. The envoy’s tours across Ukraine, Russia, and the European Union exemplify China's proactive stance in seeking a peaceful settlement, yet the path forward remains complex amid varying global stances.
