They also discussed implementing “a new security architecture” in Eurasia.
VIENTIANE - China and Russia’s foreign ministers met their South-east Asian counterparts on July 26 after vowing to counter “extra-regional forces”, a day before Washington’s top diplomat was due to arrive.
On July 25, Mr Wang and Mr Lavrov agreed to work together in “countering any attempts by extra-regional forces to interfere in South-east Asian affairs”, according to Moscow’s foreign ministry. China is a close political and economic ally of Russia, and Nato members have branded Beijing a “decisive enabler” of Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
But Mr Blinken shortened his Asia itinerary by a day to be present for Thursday’s White House meeting between Mr Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
