Australian media: NATO presence in Indo-Pacific brings back memories of colonial past – 2024-09-21 16:06:48

/ world today news/ On May 29, the Australian website “Dialog” published an article under the title “NATO must act cautiously in Southeast Asia, which still has memories of its colonial past.” It states that the presence of the North Atlantic Alliance in the Indo-Pacific region and interference in its affairs will exacerbate existing conflicts and tensions there, the reason being that NATO cannot escape the history of colonialism and imperialism of some of its countries , which shaped the face of today’s Asia.

According to the author of the article, most Southeast Asian countries strive to create an international system that is fair to them, and China is the largest trading partner of most, so regional prosperity depends crucially on it, and they are cautious about the extreme positions of the West on the Taiwan issue and do not welcome the presence of the European military alliance in Asia. The ASEAN countries are particularly clear in their position, which have repeatedly declared that they will strive to manage regional security without the intervention of foreign powers.
