Shoigu: “Eastern NATO” is not to our liking
The Secretary of the Russian Security Council said that efforts to create a structure similar to NATO in the Asia-Pacific region are in conflict with the existing system of stability and security in this region.
According to Isna, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu, said during the talks with the President of Laos, Thonglon Sisolit: “We do not like the efforts to create different types of new structures, or more precisely, an Eastern NATO.” “They are against the spirit that has been created in the region.”
“Issues related to the active militarization of the region – Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines – were discussed during the talks with the leadership of Laos,” the Russian official noted, according to TASS News agency.
He further added: “We emphasize once again that we seriously support the security model and architecture based on A.S.A., which has been tested over time and has proven its efficiency and effectiveness.”
The Secretary of the Russian Security Council also said that “Eastern NATO” contradicts stability in Asia and the Pacific.
