Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov discussed on Friday “building a new Eurasian security architecture” proposed by Russia as an alternative to NATO’s Euro-Atlantic model.
The initiative was presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin “as a response to the stagnation of Euro-Atlantic mechanisms,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement released after the meeting, which took place in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, where the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) foreign ministers’ summit is taking place.
However, the Chinese diplomat’s statement made no mention of the issue, except to say that the two ministers “exchanged views on major peace and security issues” and that they intend to strengthen cooperation on “regional peace, stability and prosperity” in East Asia.
