"If China does not want NATO to interfere in the affairs of Southeast Asia or Asia, it must prevent the DPRK from interfering on European territory," Macron said .

He added that the Russian-Ukrainian war affects the entire world. According to the French president, Russia also wants to destabilize Asia with its aggression against Europe.
