The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, stated on the 3rd that the attendance of the leaders of Russia and North Korea, together with Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the large-scale military parade held in Beijing is part of efforts to establish an anti-Western “new world order.”
She told the media: “Seeing President Xi today in Beijing standing together with the leaders of Russia, Iran, and North Korea, this not only presents an anti-Western stance, but is also a direct challenge to the rules-based international system.”
She said: “This is not just symbolic; the war in Ukraine is continuing under China’s support. These are the realities that Europe now must face.”
Kallas later pointed out in a speech that Europe is facing deliberate attempts to change the international order.
