Concern over Panetta remarks

THE United States' reinforcement of military deployment in the Asia-Pacific is not conducive to security and mutual trust in the region, a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman said yesterday.

Geng Yansheng was responding to US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore earlier this month when he said Washington was seeking to increase the US military presence in the Asia-Pacific by shifting 60 percent of its navy ships to the region by 2020.

Deliberately highlighting the military and security agenda, and deploying more forces in the Asia-Pacific, goes against the world's pursuit of peace, development and cooperation, Geng said.
