Chinese Military to Hold Talks with EU, NATO
The EU–China security and defense consultations are set to be held on Tuesday, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
The report also indicated that separate talks between NATO representatives and officials from the Office for International Military Cooperation of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) are scheduled to occur during the same week.
So far, neither side has issued official confirmation regarding the meetings.
The planned military discussions come at a time of heightened regional instability following joint US and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, which Tehran claims resulted in around 1,300 fatalities, including Iran’s then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior security official Ali Larijani.
In response, Iran has launched drone and missile attacks across multiple countries in the region and has effectively disrupted operations in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping lane handling approximately 20 million barrels of oil per day and about 20% of the world’s liquefied natural gas trade, contributing to instability in global energy markets.
