The final declaration of the NATO summit held in the United States states that alliance members call on China to engage in dialogue to reduce strategic risks, while they are open to interaction with Beijing. At the same time, China, according to the alliance member countries, continues to create systemic challenges to Euro-Atlantic security.

It is noted that “China calls on NATO to know its place, strictly adhere to its positioning as a defensive organization in the North Atlantic region, not to disrupt peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and not to become an instrument of hegemony of individual large countries.”
