MOSCOW, Aug 24 Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, commenting on the results of the US-South Korea-Japan summit held last week at Camp David, said that the agreements reached are of a confrontational nature, and the very military-political interaction of the three countries promotes key US guidelines to contain Russia and China.
«We closely followed the course of the trilateral summit of the United States, the Republic of Korea and Japan at Camp David on August 18 this year, the results of which, according to some participants, opened a «new era» of cooperation between these countries,» she said.
At the same time, according to the Russian side, «the agreements reached within the framework of this meeting are clearly confrontational in nature, are in the spirit of the Cold War, and are aimed at building a block architecture in the Asia-Pacific region under the pretext of responding to global challenges and threats, including missile -the nuclear program of the DPRK.»
«Judging by the declared goals and objectives of the renewed «triangle», which is on a par with such narrow-bloc projects of the United States as «AUCUS» and «QUAD», the military-political interaction of the three countries designed to promote the key principles of the American hegemon, including the containment of Russia and China, to force sovereign powers to obey the notorious «rule-based order,» Zakharova explained.
“It is very unfortunate that Tokyo and Seoul, feeling a lack of subjectivity in international affairs, meekly follow the anti-Russian and Sinophobic narratives of their patron. The increasing degree of unfriendly tilt of the Republic of Korea towards its neighbors in the region leads to a further deterioration of Seoul’s bilateral relations with these states,” she said. she. According to the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, «further support for the criminal Kiev regime in any of its forms, including the provision of military assistance, as well as the introduction of additional anti-Russian sanctions, will not go unanswered.»
«It was repeatedly emphasized that peace and stability in «Northeast Asia can only be guaranteed by building a comprehensive architecture of indivisible security. To this end, practical steps are needed to defuse military-political tension, abandon confrontational thinking and sanctions-force methods of solving problems, including the pressing issues of the Korean Peninsula,» she concluded. Maria Zakharova.
