China and NATO held an eighth military staff dialogue on security policy in Beijing on Wednesday, according to a statement from the Chinese defence ministry.
The two sides exchanged views on defence matters between China and NATO, as well as the international and regional situation, the ministry said in the statement, without elaborating. The meeting was co-chaired by the Office of International Military Cooperation of China's Central Military Commission and the leadership of the Cooperative Security Department of the NATO International Military Staff, the statement added.
The dialogue comes a week after Sweden joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, leaving a long-standing non-alignment policy for greater safety within the security pact after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The two sides hosted the last round of such talks in February last year in NATO headquarters in Brussels.
