Interaction with other countries, especially with China, is aimed solely at the further development of this Arctic zone and does not and cannot pose a threat to any other country or any union," Peskov told reporters.The spokesman added that the Kremlin believes that such statements are nothing more but an expression of intention to oppose Russia’s interests in the Arctic.Earlier, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that Russia-China cooperation in the Arctic runs counter to the interests of NATO member states.
