Beijing says pact is of ‘great significance… in enhancing international and regional peace’ and urges Washington and Moscow to ‘properly deal with disputes through constructive dialogue’
China on Saturday said it opposed the United States’ decision to withdraw from a nuclear arms treaty with Russia and called on the two nations to negotiate for a solution.
“As an important bilateral treaty in the fields of arms control and disarmament, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty is of great significance in easing relations between powers, in enhancing international and regional peace and in safeguarding global strategic balance and stability,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said in a statement.
“China opposes the US withdrawal and urges the US and Russia to properly deal with disputes through constructive dialogue,” he said.
