Moscow, December 28/Xinhua/ — Russia opposes "Taiwan independence" in any form; it is an integral part of China. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this in an interview with TASS regarding the 2025 results.
"Russia's fundamental position on the Taiwan issue is well-known, unchangeable, and has been repeatedly reaffirmed at the highest level. Russia recognizes Taiwan as an integral part of China and opposes any form of independence for the island," Lavrov emphasized.
"We proceed from the premise that the Taiwan issue is an internal matter for the PRC," the minister said. "Beijing has every legitimate basis for defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity."
S. Lavrov also warned of the risks of Japan's accelerated militarization. "Recently, the Japanese leadership has indeed embarked on a course toward accelerated militarization of the country. The detrimental impact of this approach on regional stability is obvious," he said.
According to the politician, the Russian side recommends that Japan carefully weigh everything before making any rash decisions. –0–
