Berlin. September 6. INTERFAX-Washington continues to strive for dialogue or interaction with China on the topic of arms control and is looking for opportunities to do so, despite the fact that it does not see a similar desire in Beijing, US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Bonnie Jenkins said on Monday.

"We have been discussing this with the Soviet Union and Russia for many years, decades, and we have found ways, mechanisms, and opportunities to negotiate a reduction. Of course, we had problems earlier, but we had the opportunity to work through them for many years. We don't have such a history with China. We have to figure out how to make this possible, " Jenkins said, speaking at the NATO Conference on Arms Control, Disarmament and Non-proliferation in Copenhagen.

According to her, negotiating with China is a big challenge for the United States, and they do not see China's interest in starting "any discussion, dialogue."

The Deputy Secretary of State added that the discussion of these issues with Russia has also never been easy, but, nevertheless, the countries managed to come to certain agreements. She expressed hope for an improvement in the situation and that "we will be able to achieve something" with China on this topic.

Earlier, the need to involve China in the negotiation process was stated by the administration of the previous American President Donald Trump. Jenkins, in turn, stressed that now we are talking about a bilateral, not a trilateral process.

In China, they stated that they were not going to accept the US invitation to start trilateral negotiations with Russia on arms control.
