RtiTalk 小編13d ago
Regarding China's unilateral claim on the 11th to conduct so-called 'joint patrols' and 'navigation exercises' with the Indonesian Navy in our eastern waters, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded today (12th) stating that China has once again disregarded international norms and responsibilities, further escalating regional tensions. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns China's arbitrary, irresponsible actions.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hsiao Kuang-wei said: '(Original sound) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that as a responsible member of the region, our country will uphold its consistent stance of defending its territory, actively safeguard the sovereignty and sovereign rights in our eastern waters, and cooperate with all parties in the region to jointly ensure freedom of navigation and regional security and stability in the relevant waters.'
As for China's claim that Indonesia will participate in the 'drills,' the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that our side immediately sought understanding from all parties regarding the relevant situation and requested clarification from Indonesia. It can currently be confirmed that among all relevant parties around the First Island Chain, only the Beijing authorities engage in such unilateral actions that maliciously provoke, are irresponsible, and bring unease and threats to the region.
