Not a member of NATO, these Asian Pacific countries have also been invited to NATO Summit 丨 Beijing Watch

NATO Leaders Summit will be held at the end of this month. At that time, about 30 members of NATO will gather in Madrid, Spain to discuss related issues. Let the NATO summit attract the attention of Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. Among them, Japan and South Korea will participate for the first time.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishita Kishita said that this would be a "historic moment" because he was the first Japanese Prime Minister to attend the NATO summit. He said he would call on NATO allies to cooperate closely at the NATO summit. In addition, it is reported that the Japanese government also wants to hold a meeting of Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand during the NATO summit. It can be seen that although the Japanese side is not a member country, it has considerable expectations and potential purposes for this summit.

On the other side, South Korean President Yin Xiyue also confirmed that he would attend the NATO summit. For the newly appointed president's movement, South Korea is very concerned about whether this will affect the development of relations between China, South Korea, South Korea and the United States. Regarding domestic disputes, relevant sources of the Presidential Palace of Korea stated that South Korea is not a member of NATO. The significance of the Korean summit is from the perspective of "comprehensive security" to expand and deepen the connection with member states and partners. For the major transformation of anti -China and anti -Russian policies.

However, the analysis states that no matter what the posture of Japan and South Korea, this time, as a "partner", he was invited to sit with NATO countries. Behind the United States, NATO, who was led by the United States, wanted to win the careful thinking of the Asia -Pacific countries.

First of all, Japan and South Korea have always been regarded as an important partner of the United States in the Asia -Pacific region. Japan and Australia are members of the "four -way mechanism" in the United States, Japan, and Australia, and South Korea and New Zealand are potential "targets". The analysis believes that NATO's initiative to invite these countries to show that the Russian -Ukraine conflict has not shifted their attention to the Asia -Pacific region.

At present, due to the complex security environment brought by the situation in Russia, NATO aware of the importance of "holding group heating". During the Trump period, French President Macron had stated that NATO had "brain death". With the opening of Russia and Ukraine's conflict, NATO survived from the state of "brain death". This is also after the end of the Cold War. European countries once again pin the hope of defense issues to the United States. For the United States, the actual leadership of NATO seems to have a place in Europe.

In addition to being more united, the ambition of NATO expansion cannot be ignored. NATO's strategic center moves eastward, and the trend of "Asia Pacific" needs to be vigilant. It is worth noting that NATO Secretary -General Stoltenberg recently publicly stated to the outside world that NATO leaders will discuss the so -called "China and its impact on us" at the summit.

This is the second time Stoltenberg mentioned that the NATO summit will discuss the issue of China. On June 16, he said at a press conference after the NATO defense ministers meeting that NATO will make a decision on the new NATO "strategic concept" at the summit, "explaining our position on Russia, emerging challenges, and the first time for the first time Elapse our position in China. " Stoltenberg also said that in this context, he welcomed the first participation in the NATO summit for leaders of the Asia -Pacific countries.

Shenzhen Satellite TV directly noticed that before the NATO Summit was held, the European Union would take the lead in holding the 27th State Leaders Summit. Immediately after, the Leadership Summit (G7) of the Seven Kingdoms Group will be held in Elmao, Bavaria, Germany. At the same time, US President Biden will personally attend the Seventh National Group Summit and NATO Summit. The summit of this axis will focus on the continuity of the global sustainability of the Russian -Ukraine conflict on the world, such as the rising energy issues, the first response to Finland and Sweden to join NATO.

Some opinion believes that on the one hand, the United States plays the main role in the situation in Russia, and increases its international influence by dominating NATO. On the other hand, the United States also hopes that Europe can play a greater role in Russia and Ukraine's conflict, thus its You can focus more on the "Indo -Pacific" area.

In this regard, at the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today (23rd), a spokesman Wang Wenbin responded that NATO was the world's largest military alliance under the United States and the world's largest military alliance. The trend runs counter to the end. "NATO is obviously a military organization in North Atlantic. In recent years, it has been to the Asia -Pacific Yao Wu Yangwei, trying to copy the routine of the European Group's confrontation to Asia Pacific. This is very dangerous, which will definitely cause high vigilance and resolute opposition from the Asia -Pacific countries and the international community."

Wang Wenbin emphasized that China has always been the builder of world peace, the contributor to global development, and the maintenanceer of the international order, and will continue to go along along the road of peaceful development. We have always believed that the development relationship between countries should be conducive to world peace and stability, and should not target third -party and harm third parties. The Asia -Pacific region is not the geographical category of North Atlantic, and countries and people in the Asia -Pacific region resolutely oppose any words and deeds that introduce the introduction of military groups and provoke division confrontation.
