Following a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Store, Xi said China encourages all efforts leading to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, media reported.
He expressed hope that all parties will "accumulate favorable conditions for a political solution to the crisis through dialogue."
Back on July 8, Chinese President Xi Jining said that Ukraine and Russia would be better served laying down their arms and finding a diplomatic solution to their problems.
Jinping made the remarks while speaking at a meeting with visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
"It is in the interests of all parties to end hostilities and find a political solution as soon as possible," TASS quoted Xi as saying.
"At present, following three principles is of paramount importance: preventing fire from going beyond the battlefield, preventing escalation, and preventing anyone from fueling the conflict," Xi insisted.
He also highlighted the need "to contribute to de-escalation as soon as possible."
