Should Not Undermine Regional Peace & Target Third Party: China On Indo-US Defence Deals

General Electric Aerospace has announced that it has inked a pact with HAL to jointly produce fighter jet engines for the Indian Air Force's Light Combat Aircraft-Mk-II Tejas.

Beijing: China on Monday said cooperation between countries should not undermine regional peace and stability and target any third party, as it reacted to a host of defence and commercial pacts recently signed between India and the US including joint production of jet engines in India to power military aircraft and a deal on armed drones.

"It has been China's longstanding position that military cooperation between states should not undermine regional peace and stability, target any third party, or even harm the interests of any third party," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told media briefing here.
