President Xi called for a global truce during the Olympic Games after being urged to use his influence to end its war in Ukraine by European officials.

Emmanuel Macron , France's president, right, greets Xi Jinping , China's president, ahead of the state dinner marking the visit at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, on Monday, May 6, 2024. Xi called on France to help fend off a "new Cold War " as the EU increasingly aligns with U.S. concerns over security risks and trade tensions.

"The world today is far from being calm. As member of the United Nations Security Council and as a responsible country, China urges with France for a truce in the world during the Paris Olympic games," Xi said, speaking through an interpreter alongside Macron during a joint statement. French officials hope Xi's endorsement is a sign that he could use his influence to persuade Russia to reach a truce when President Vladimir Putin travels to China later this month."We wanted to explain the impact of this conflict on Europe's security and our determination to support Ukraine for as long as necessary," Macron said, adding that Paris was not looking to change the regime in Moscow.

"We count on China to use all its influence on Russia to end Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine," von der Leyen told reporters after a trilateral meeting at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
