Japan and NATO are conducting consultations on opening a liaison office in Japan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded on 12 May. Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference on 12 May. A reporter asked: it is reported that when Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng and NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg were interviewed by the media respectively, they confirmed that the two sides were discussing the opening of a NATO liaison office in Japan. What is China's comment? Wang Wenbin said: NATO has stated publicly many times that its position as a regional alliance has not changed, that it does not seek geographical breakthroughs, that the Asia-Pacific region is not a geographical category of the North Atlantic, and that there is no need to establish an "Asia-Pacific version of NATO." however, what does NATO intend to do by constantly strengthening its relations with Asia-Pacific countries, persistently moving eastward to intervene in regional affairs and inciting camp confrontation? This has aroused a high degree of vigilance among the international community, especially countries in the Asia-Pacific region, and it is hoped that the parties concerned will not undermine peace and stability in the region by seeking so-called geographical interests. Wang Wenbin pointed out that outsiders are also very concerned about whether Japan really wants to act as the "vanguard" of "NATO's Asia-Pacific". Asia is a highland of peace and stability, a hot land of cooperation and development, and should not become a duel ground for geopolitical contention. Due to the history of modern militarist aggression, Japan's military security trend has always been concerned by its Asian neighbors and the international community. We urge the Japanese side to seriously draw lessons from history, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and refrain from doing anything that undermines mutual trust among countries in the region and undermines regional peace and stability.
