"I think that NATO's actions jeopardize world peace, and we see this not only here in Europe, but also in Latin America. We see with great concern that NATO is operating in different countries of the region, where it did not participate or exist before, which is generating an unfriendly climate in the region," Arce said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
Latin America does not share the goals of the arms race and military goals of the alliance, the president said, adding that the planet needs peace.
