Heiko Maas: Germany Must Continue Contributing to NATO Amid Standoff With China, Russia
11:59 GMT 23.11.2021 (Updated: 12:00 GMT 23.11.2021) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Germany's next centre-left government must stand to its commitments within NATO as it engages in a competition of values with China and Russia, the outgoing German foreign minister said Tuesday.
"Germany must continue contributing to the Atlantic alliance — the unshakeable pillar of our security," Heiko Maas said in an opening speech at a foreign policy forum in Berlin.
He accused China and Russia of testing NATO’s rules-based order, international laws and human rights, and using hybrid warfare tactics and disinformation campaigns to target the Western society.
"That is why Germany has been fostering new coalitions and expanding partnerships with like-minded countries… because Germany can only be strong as long as it has its partners and not alone," he added.
NATO has launched a "reflection process" to hammer out a new strategic concept by the end of next year, Maas said. It will redefine the alliance’s security tasks and deal with cyber and space threats.
