There Sweden will send a reduced battalion in Latvia next year to contribute to the troops of Born in the Baltic country, which borders the Russia. The prime minister announced it Ulf Kristersson. This is the first troop contribution announced by Sweden since it joined NATO last March. “Our goal is to contribute in terms of forces, including armored vehicles CV90 and tanks Leopard 2″, added Kristersson. A new signal that indicates how the “eastern border” of the Atlantic Pact, the European one, is today the most tense and dangerous scenario for global stability.
Not surprisingly, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will meet the Secretary General of NATO today in Berlin Jens Stoltenberg. This is what the federal government communicates, adding that the talks will focus on the preparation of the Atlantic Alliance summit scheduled in Washington from 9 to 11 July.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yihe warned United States that recent improvements in relations between the two countries have been jeopardized by “obstacles” that could return relations between the two superpowers to a “downward spiral” leading to rivalries, clashes and even conflicts.
Wang spoke at the start of the meeting in Beijing with the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken; and pointed out that, after the summit Biden-Xi in San Francisco in November, relations were “beginning to stabilize” with increased dialogue and cooperation. “This is welcomed by our two peoples and the international community. But at the same time, the negative factors in the relationship are still growing and building, and the relationship is facing all kinds of obstacles.” “China’s legitimate development rights have been unreasonably suppressed, and our fundamental interests are facing challenges,” she continued. “Should China and the United States maintain the right direction to move forward with stability or return to a downward spiral? This is an important issue for our two countries, which tests our sincerity and ability,” Wang added, warning the United States “not to tread on the red lines of China’s sovereignty, security and development interests”. This is also a piece in the picture of the greatest military and diplomatic turbulence since the Cold War.
