Brussels ‘does not intervene in regional territorial disputes’
Cooperation on security and defense “should promote regional peace and stability and not target third parties or harm the security interests of other countries.” The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Lin Jian, with the signing of the new partnership on security and defense between the EU and Japan, urged the Rising Sun “to learn lessons from history, respect the concerns of its Asian neighbors and act with prudence in military matters”. Lin “invited the EU to avoid intervening in regional territorial disputes and to contribute constructively to peace, stability and development”.
