Original title: Russia initiates the withdrawal procedure of the “Open Skies Treaty” Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The U.S.’s withdrawal first damages the military mutual trust between relevant countries

CCB, Beijing, January 18 (Reporter Tian Tian) At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held on the 18th, a reporter asked: On the 15th, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that the United States withdrew from the Open Sky Treaty last year ( (Hereinafter referred to as the “Treaty”) seriously undermined the balance of interests reached by the parties. In order to maintain the validity of the “Treaty”, Russia made specific recommendations on continuing to implement the contract under the new conditions, but failed to get the support of the US allies. What is China’s comment?

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said: “We have taken note of relevant reports. As far as I know, the direct reason for Russia to initiate the withdrawal procedure of the Open Skies Treaty is that the United States, regardless of the opposition of the international community, unilaterally withdrew it first. This has seriously damaged military mutual trust and transparency between relevant countries. Russia has made efforts to save the “Treaty”, but it has not received a positive response from the United States and other parties.”

Hua Chunying pointed out that for a long time, the United States has adhered to the Cold War mentality, pursued the United States first, and successively broke contracts and withdrew from the group. This has had a serious negative impact on the international arms control and disarmament process. Facts have proved that unilateralism has no way out and dialogue and cooperation have a future.

Hua Chunying said that China calls on the United States to face up to the concerns of the international community and take concrete actions to maintain global strategic stability and international and regional peace and security.Return to Sohu to see more
