US Secretary of Defense Pete Highs stated that in order to prevent possible conflicts, it is necessary to ensure reliable restraint of potential threats from China.
In the statement made after a meeting with the Minister of Defense of Peru Walter Astudillo and Foreign Minister Elmer Shialer, Hegset accused Beijing under operations aimed at obtaining unfair economic benefits in the region.
“In order to prevent possible conflicts, we must demonstrate hard restraint in the face of the threats that China can create. We look forward to working with Peru in this direction,” said Highs.
Hegset expressed satisfaction from cooperation with Peru within the framework of the US course to ensure “peace through force”.
“To put in the first place the interests of the United States – it means to put in the first place the entire American continent,” he added.
touching the general challenges that both countries face, he emphasized that the United States and Peru are faced with similar threats.
“We jointly achieve progress in the fight against people trading, migration crisis and violent criminal groups. We are a serious struggle against the factors threatening our societies,” Highset emphasized.
