Ministry of Foreign Affairs: strengthening military cooperation between the United States, Japan and the ROK under the pretext of the Peninsula issue will only aggravate the risk of confrontation among regional camps. 9 May, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference held today. Wang Wenbin said that the essence of the Korean Peninsula issue is a political and security issue, which is rooted in the remnants of the Cold War and the lack of peace mechanisms. Strengthening military cooperation between the United States, Japan and South Korea under the pretext of the Peninsula issue will not help resolve the remnants of the Cold War and promote the process of the peace mechanism on the peninsula, but will only aggravate the risk of confrontation among regional camps, undermine the already fragile mutual trust of all parties, and harm the strategic and security interests of other countries. If the situation on the peninsula slides into a vicious circle of tension and arms race, all parties concerned cannot absolve themselves of the blame.
