Rather than a military alliance, the Russian government is pushing for a robust partnership with the Philippines, Russian Ambassador to Manila Igor Khovaev said Monday. "I would like to point out that the goal of our common work here is not trying to contain someone or to create some sort of alliance. In Russia, we have no appreciation of military alliances because in the best case, they provide security for a selected few member states at the expense of others," he said during a speech on the occasion of the Russian Armed Forces Day in Makati City.
Khovaev said Russia prefers establishing "equal partnerships" in the region where a "fair system" is in place to guarantee the same level of security for all the players in the international arena.
"Any other country can agree with us or disagree. We don't criticize other countries for their decision to build a military alliance, that's their sovereign rights, but as for us Russians, we always offer a robust equal partnership, not a military alliance," he said.
