WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - The United States and the
European Union have agreed to relaunch a bilateral dialogue on
China and work together to address Russia's "challenging
behavior," according to a joint statement on Wednesday.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the EU high
representative for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, "acknowledged
a shared understanding that relations with China are
multifaceted, comprising elements of cooperation, competition,
and systemic rivalry."
They will also cooperate on topics including reciprocity,
economic issues, resilience, human rights, security,
multilateralism and climate change, the statement said.
"Secretary Blinken and High Representative Borrell confirmed
that credible multi-party democracy, the protection of human
rights and adherence to international law support the stability
and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific," the statement said.
"Both aim to cooperate to promote secure,
sustainable, free and open maritime supply routes and supply
chains and look forward to deepening cooperation with
like-minded partners where interests and approaches intersect."
Blinken and Borrell also said they would address "Russia's
challenging behavior, including its ongoing aggression against
Ukraine and Georgia; hybrid threats, such as disinformation;
interference in electoral processes; malicious cyber activities;
and military posturing."
During their meeting in Brussels, the two pledged to work
together as well on the global distribution of safe and
effective coronavirus vaccines, and to ensure they are prepared
for future pandemics.
Among other issues the two ministers discussed were
cooperation on climate action, Iran and Turkey.
