BRUSSELS, APRIL 4 NATO is not going to become global alliance, but will work with partners in Asia, since security issues are interconnected, said the organization’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“»We are not talking about NATO becoming a global alliance, NATO will remain an alliance of North America and Europe. But our security is linked to the security of the Asia-Pacific region, so we must work together to solve global problems,» he said it was based on the results of a meeting in Brussels of the foreign ministers of the alliance member countries.
According to him, the connection between security issues “is evidenced by the conflict in Ukraine.” In this regard, the NATO Secretary General expressed «concern about Russia's cooperation with China, North Korea and Iran, including in the military-technical sphere.»
Moscow has repeatedly noted that NATO is aimed at confrontation. As Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasized, further expansion of the bloc will not bring greater security to Europe.
