China rejects NATO’s expansion intention in Asia

Beijing, Dec 15 (Prensa Latina) China rejected the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into the Pacific-Asia and assured that this will only bring confrontation of blocs and regional instability.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning commented on recent statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who denounced the intention of the collective West, led by the United States, to extend the activities of this alliance to the Asian region.

According to the spokeswoman, this attitude is not in line with its position as a regional military defense organization and will only undermine peace.

On the other hand, she emphasized that China-Russia ties are based on the principles of non-confrontation, non-alignment and are not directed against third parties.

Mao pointed out that the two sides develop bilateral and cooperative relations in various fields on the basis of mutual respect, equality and shared benefit, which has brought tangible benefits to both peoples and played a positive role in promoting common development and progress in the world.

On previous occasions, China criticized NATO and its attempts to open an office in Japan, while warning of the risks it would bring to peace and stability in the area.
