Beijing, January 12 (Reporters Huang Yuqin and Zeng Yue) – Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on January 12.
A reporter asked: Greenland is part of Denmark. How does China view the US's demand to "take over" the sovereign territory of another country? If this were to happen, how would it affect China's interests in the relevant region?
Mao Ning: China has always maintained that relations between countries should be handled in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. Regarding the Arctic, the rights and freedoms of all countries to conduct activities in the Arctic in accordance with the law should be fully respected. (End)
