French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi agreed that both countries share a common objective to push toward the end of the war in Ukraine, said Macron's office on Wednesday.

China's top diplomat visited France as part of his first European tour since assuming the position.

Macron and Wang "expressed the same objective of contributing to peace in accordance with international law," the statement said.

Wang's EU trip comes as tensions between Beijing and Washington are rising following the Chinese balloon incident earlier this month and the aerial unidentified objects spotted over the US, EU, and Latin America, which the US blames China for despite the lack of evidence.

The US has imposed sanctions on six Chinese entities it accuses of being tied to the balloon, which drew criticism from China on Tuesday, although the US intelligence community believes they could be "tied to some commercial or benign purpose."

China insists that the balloon shot down on February 4 was a civilian weather-monitoring aircraft, accusing the US of sending its own balloons into Chinese airspace and other countries.
