The North Atlantic Alliance intends to undermine peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region (APR), after it confused Europe. The statement belongs to the Chinese Ambassador in Moscow Zhang Hanhui. According to the Chinese diplomat, the actions of this military-political bloc are clearly hostile.
– the head of the Chinese diplomatic mission noted in an interview with TASS.
Touching upon the topic of the expansion of the bloc, the ambassador in an interview with the news agency said that such a scenario was unacceptable. As he clarified, this completely contradicts the concept of collective self-defense according to the Charter of the aforementioned international organization.
Zhang Hanhui:
At the same time, the Chinese ambassador to Russia added, such actions should be regarded as violations of the provisions of the UN Charter on regional agreements.
At the end of the conversation, Zhang also drew attention to the fact that the alliance has been trying to spread its influence further and further in recent years, inviting Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand to participate in the bloc's summit for 2 consecutive years. According to the diplomat, the parties even signed an individual partnership program, and next year the alliance plans to open the first communications office in Japan.
