The Chinese side supported the draft security guarantees that Russia proposed to Europe and the United States.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC believes that such initiatives will become a good basis for dialogue between the Russian Federation, NATO and other states. This was reported by RIA Novosti, referring to the press service of the diplomatic department.
The representatives of Beijing noted that the proposals made by the Russian side fully comply with the main principles and norms of international relations. The Russian Federation’s project will help increase mutual trust between countries and significantly reduce the likely global threats. Moscow stands for the establishment of global and regional strategic stability, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed.
Russian diplomats published draft agreements with the United States and NATO on December 17. The documents indicate the non-expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the east, including Ukraine and Georgia. The military bloc said that it received the papers and intends to study them. The Russian Foreign Ministry believes that if there is no reaction to the project, a new round of confrontation between the parties is possible.
